• Own the technical and operational health of assigned assets ensuring availability, uptime, and production meet or exceed targets.
• Develop and manage O&M strategy and vendor relations - issue RFPs, negotiate service agreements, track KPIs, and drive accountability among third-party service providers.
• Oversee warranty enforcement, spare parts tracking, and preventive maintenance schedules for major components (inverters, transformers, batteries).
• Help lead technical handover from construction to operations, validating commissioning data, documentation, telemetry, and control systems.
• Budget & P&L Oversight: Support budget creation and expense management, ensuring operational decisions align with financial performance and lifecycle cost objectives.
• Compliance & Safety: Ensure adherence to environmental, safety, and regulatory standards; oversee incident reporting and corrective action plans.
• Continuous Improvement: Develop and implement processes to improve asset monitoring, data analytics, and reporting capabilities as BlueWave’s operating sites increase.
• Deliver clear, data-driven reporting on performance metrics, operational issues, and asset optimization strategies to internal and external stakeholders.
• Partner with Engineering, Preconstruction, and other Asset Management team members to share lessons learned, inform design improvements, and enhance long-term reliability.

Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree in engineering (electrical, mechanical, or renewable energy preferred) or related technical field.
• 7+ years in asset management, O&M, field engineering, or operations for power generation assets (solar, storage, or DG-scale strongly preferred).
• Proven ability to manage technical performance and reliability across multiple operating sites.
• Hands-on familiarity with SCADA, DAS, and asset management platforms (e.g., PowerFactors, PowerTrack, BluePoint, or Maximo).
• Demonstrated experience managing O&M contracts, site technicians, and vendor relationships.
• Solid understanding of electrical and mechanical system components, interconnection, and grid compliance requirements.
• Strong data analysis skills; ability to interpret performance data and translate into actionable solutions.
• Financial literacy and experience managing budgets or P&L for operating assets.
• Excellent communication and organizational skills, with a proactive, solution-oriented mindset.
• Willingness to travel 25-30% to visit project sites as needed.

Nice to have:

• Experience with battery energy storage systems (BESS) operations and performance optimization.
• Understanding of ISO/RTO operations and energy market interfaces.
• Familiarity with predictive maintenance tools, digital twins, or other advanced asset management technologies.
• Existing network of O&M vendors and field service providers in the solar and storage space.
• Experience in a distributed generation IPP environment, managing multiple small-to-medium scale projects concurrently.
