• Lead regular project cash management, including payments, debt service, and distributions.
• Interface with operations and maintenance contractors to ensure equipment issues are addressed in a timely manner and preventive maintenance is performed.
• Interface with community solar customer management firms to monitor performance, enforce contractual obligations, and maximize revenue.
• Manage third-party asset management consultants supporting the portfolio, where applicable.
• Populate and manage a contractual compliance database and ensure all related obligations are met on schedule.
• Onboard new projects into the asset management function in coordination with the Development, EPC, and Project Finance Teams.
• Support annual budgeting, forecasting, and insurance renewal efforts for the portfolio.
• Support asset management workstreams for new investment opportunities.
• Collaborate with team members to develop best-in-class asset management processes, systems, and procedures as the portfolio scales.

What We’re Looking For

• 1-4+ years of experience at a renewable energy developer, owner, operator, or investor, a related consulting firm, or another related business.
• Bachelor’s degree in engineering, finance, accounting, or a related discipline; advanced degree is a plus.
• Experience in one or more of the following, preferably in the context of operating renewable energy assets: asset management, operations and maintenance, engineering, project finance, project contracts, accounting, project development, construction, or data analysis.
• Battery storage and/or community solar experience is a plus.
• Ability to connect technical, operational, contractual, and financial factors to make good decisions and explain outcomes.
• Intellectual agility and curiosity, with a strong analytical orientation.
• Active user of AI tools, with an interest in applying them to asset management workflows such as analysis, contract review, and reporting.
• A track record of building necessary tools and processes rather than waiting for them, from reporting templates to tracking systems.
• An extremely high level of attention to detail.
• Capable of building trust and fostering positive working relationships inside the company and with third parties.
• Well-organized, vigilant, and competent in juggling multiple projects and priorities.
• Proficient in working under pressure, adhering to deadlines, producing accurate results, and embracing additional responsibilities proactively.
