• 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 fleet scales.
• Reporting & Insights: Deliver clear, data-driven reporting on performance metrics, operational issues, and asset optimization strategies to internal and external stakeholders.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with Engineering, Preconstruction, and Asset Management team members to share lessons learned, inform design improvements, and enhance long-term reliability.
• No direct reports immediately but anticipated as the Asset Management team expands.

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.
