• Define and execute preventative, predictive, and corrective maintenance programs, with the support of the Engineering team, for PV arrays, inverters, transformers (LV, MV), BESS, and microgrid controls/EMS.
• Develop, with the support of the Engineering Department, and maintain MOPs covering topics such as: load shedding, communication protocol refresh/restart, shutdown/isolation, blackstart, and other procedures to be executed remotely by the operations team.
• Own CMMS implementation, asset hierarchy, work-order processes, spare-parts strategy, and warranty management.
• Drive continuous improvement through KPI dashboards (availability, performance ratio, alarm response times, mean time to repair).
• Manage the O&M budget, cost tracking versus third-party benchmarks, and transition from external providers.
• Interface with OEMs to schedule repairs, inspections, and or retrofits during the initial warranty period.
• Maintain and update as-built drawings and network mapping/IP schemes
• Serve as the project owner during Handover, engaging in the process to receive and audit the deliverables such as as-built information, network mapping, warranty documentation, ensure all documentation needed for long term O&M is reviewed and stored.

Qualifications

• 10+ years in renewable energy operations (former military may substitute equivalent experience), with experience in solar PV and battery energy storage systems; microgrid or islanded system (including ship power systems) experience strongly preferred.
• Prior experience with SCADA platforms required and SEL RTAC equipment is preferred
• Proven leadership of field service teams and remote operations centers; experience standing up or scaling an O&M function is a plus.
• Strong commercial acumen, safety leadership, and ability to manage multi-site logistics.
• Bachelor's degree in industrial engineering, electrical/controls engineering, mechanical engineering, computer science or related field; relevant certifications (e.g., OSHA) preferred.
• Willingness to travel to portfolio sites.

What Success Looks Like (First 12-18 Months)

Fully transitioned portfolio under internal control, documented PM programs and MOPs in place, remote operations center live and meeting response SLAs, measurable improvement in availability and cost control versus industry standard third-party baseline, and a scalable team structure supporting portfolio growth.
