Job description

We’re working with a growing renewable energy platform looking to add an Asset Management Analyst or Associate to its team.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone with 1–4+ years of experience in renewable energy who wants hands-on exposure to a growing portfolio of operating solar and battery storage assets.

You’ll play a key role across asset performance, financial analysis, operational reporting, cash management, O&M oversight, and project optimization, working closely with senior leadership, investors, lenders, and external partners.

The role would suit someone who is analytical, commercially minded, highly detail-oriented, and enjoys working in an entrepreneurial environment where you can build processes rather than simply follow them.

Key Responsibilities

• Support the management of a portfolio of operating solar and battery storage projects

• Analyze technical and financial performance against budgets and forecasts

• Identify performance variances, investigate key drivers, and identify opportunities for optimization

• Prepare operational and financial reporting for management, investors, lenders, and other stakeholders

• Support monthly asset performance and operations reviews

• Own and maintain financial models tracking project performance and investment returns

• Manage project cash flows, including payments, debt service, and distributions

• Work closely with O&M providers to ensure equipment issues are resolved and preventative maintenance is completed

• Monitor community solar customer management providers and contractual performance

• Manage third-party asset management consultants where required

• Maintain contractual compliance databases and ensure project obligations are completed on schedule

• Support the onboarding of new projects into the asset management function

• Work alongside Development, EPC, Project Finance, and Corporate Finance teams

• Support annual budgeting, forecasting, and insurance renewal activities

• Support asset management activities related to new investment opportunities

• Help develop and improve asset management processes, systems, reporting, and procedures as the portfolio grows

What We’re Looking For

• 1–4+ years of experience within renewable energy, infrastructure, consulting, project finance, asset management, engineering, or a related field

• Experience with operating renewable energy assets is highly desirable

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Finance, Accounting, or a related discipline

• Experience in one or more areas including:

• Asset Management

• Operations & Maintenance

• Engineering

• Project Finance

• Project Contracts

• Accounting

• Project Development

• Construction

• Data Analysis

• Experience with solar, battery storage, and/or community solar is a plus

• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with the ability to connect technical, operational, contractual, and financial information

• High attention to detail and strong organizational skills

• Comfortable managing multiple projects and priorities in a fast-paced environment

• Strong written and verbal communication skills

• Ability to build strong relationships with internal teams and external stakeholders

• Proactive mindset with a willingness to take ownership and solve problems independently

• Entrepreneurial approach — someone who enjoys creating tools, processes, and systems rather than waiting for them to be provided

• Interest in using AI and emerging technology to improve analysis, reporting, contract review, and asset management workflows

• Collaborative attitude, curiosity, and a genuine interest in renewable energy

Why Consider This Opportunity?

• Opportunity to work directly with operating solar and battery storage assets

• Exposure across technical, financial, commercial, and operational asset management

• Direct interaction with senior leadership, investors, lenders, and industry partners

• Opportunity to help build and scale an asset management function

• Competitive base salary and performance-based bonus

• Long-term incentive opportunity

• 401(k) savings plan and company-funded retirement benefits

Medical and long-term disability coverage

• Dental and vision benefits

• Professional development opportunities
