Descrizione del lavoro

The Technical Account Manager is the day-to-day link between the asset owner and the CES operations organization. You are the single point of contact for portfolio operational matters, the person who makes sure the right CES resource is on the right issue, and the person who keeps both sides looking at the same picture. This is a coordination and communication role, not a line management role. CES site personnel report through the CES operations structure. You make the connections, carry the reporting and keep issues moving.

Job Description

Client Interface

• Support onboarding of new assets, including pre-COD planning, commissioning coordination and handover to long-term operations

• Work with regional HSE representatives to reinforce safety, quality and compliance expectations across the portfolio
• Track incident reporting, corrective actions and close-out, and keep the owner informed of safety performance

Advisory Support (Periodic)

• Turnover readiness support, including punch-list observations, spare parts readiness and completeness of operational documentation

Required Qualifications

• 5+ years in utility-scale solar or battery storage O&M, with time spent in the field rather than only in an office
• Experience as a site lead, site manager or senior technician, or in a client-facing technical account or asset management role
• Working knowledge of PV and BESS plant equipment, SCADA and remote operations, and the practical realities of outage and PM scheduling
• Comfortable holding a room with both field technicians and asset owner executives
• Strong written reporting. Much of this role is making complex operational information clear to people who were not on site

What Success Looks Like

• The owner never learns about a material plant event from someone other than you
• Reporting goes out on time, is accurate and does not need to be chased
• Field teams see you as useful rather than as overhead
• Issues that recur get identified and closed rather than repeated
