Develop our MV equipment strategy and manage our MV service and testing partners, and bring them in early on interconnection, outage, and failure work
Lead an annual review of our preventive maintenance and aerial inspection reports to identify large remediation and repowering projects
Plan and scope special projects on older systems and follow them through execution
Work with Sales and Go-to-Market teams on new and existing products: give technical input on scope and pricing, and review contracts before signing to catch operational risk
You have a safety first mindset, never allowing the compromise safety for convenience
You manage several priorities at once and make decisions without waiting to be told.
You know when to handle an issue yourself and when to escalate it.
You work from a process and catch details others miss.
You write things down: procedures, scopes, and project plans that other people can follow.
You pick up new tools and systems quickly as the business changes.
You stay level when a client is upset or a site is down, and you can bring the conversation back to the facts.
You write and speak clearly, whether the reader is a client or a technician.
Tech Ops is more reactive today than we want it to be. We're putting defined processes around the work we repeat, and you'll help build them and lead parts of it.
Service visit review, scope drafting, quote review, inspection and commissioning review, and BESS alarm triage will each get a written procedure, an owner, and a quality check, so results don't depend on who picks up the ticket.
Many of our assets today range from a few hundred kW to a few MW. We expect to take on more mid-size and large systems, from 5 to 15 MW with some larger, including community solar, for QA/QC and service. Bigger sites mean more MV equipment and more utility involvement, and often larger storage. Over time we want this person to be our in-house lead on:
MV equipment and partners: maintenance standards, testing intervals, spares, and failure response for transformers, switchgear, and protective relays, and the service partners who support them
Older systems: remediation, repowering, spare parts management and major component replacement on aging sites
QA/QC and service on larger solar and storage sites, expanding and improving our inspection and service offerings to better suit those products
4+ years in solar, including at least 2 years of hands-on field work (technician, installer, or OEM field service engineer) and at least 2 years in operations, asset management, field service coordination, or technical account management
At least 2 years of direct technical experience on solar assets of 1 MW or larger, including 600 to 1500 Vdc PV architecture and 3-phase AC connections, with root-cause troubleshooting from array strings to central inverters
Solid understanding of National Electrical Code requirements for PV and energy storage (Articles 690, 691, 705, 706) as applied to field inspections, testing, and repair
OSHA certification; 10 hour minimum, must hold or be willing to obtain
Working understanding of medium-voltage systems, including collection circuits, utility interconnection standards, and protective relays (SEL or equivalent)
Working knowledge of commercial energy storage systems, including inverter behavior, BMS alarm diagnosis, and hardware fault troubleshooting
Experience writing or reviewing scopes of work, service agreements, customer contracts, and manufacturer warranties well enough to spot gaps and risk
Ability to review electrical schematics, single-line diagrams, site designs, and technical submittals
Experience using telemetry and DAS monitoring tools to tell a real operational fault from a telemetry offline condition
Experience with ticketing platforms (Salesforce, Zendesk), plus strong Google Workspace and Excel skills
Experience on 5 MW+ solar or storage sites, including community solar
Deep MV expertise, including transformer, switchgear, and relay testing or settings review, and experience working with MV service partners
Experience scoping remediation, repowering, or major retrofit projects on older systems
Experience analyzing PM or drone inspection data across a large portfolio
Quality assurance, thermography, or commissioning experience, including building punchlists and evaluating system terminations
Advanced expertise in commercial battery storage, including hands-on field service, commissioning, or warranty claim management
OSHA 30 Hour certification, NFPA 70E electrical safety training
NABCEP certification
