Job Summary

The Solar Farm O&M manager will have deep experience with Power Electronics solar farm sites. The O&M manager will own the health and availability of large scale solar farms with Power Electronics inverter fleets. We are seeking an experienced Power Electronics Solar O&M Site Manager to lead operations and maintenance activities at utility-scale solar facilities featuring advanced power‐electronics inverters. The ideal candidate will bring gigawatt-scale experience in managing, commissioning, and troubleshooting large PV farms, ensuring peak performance, reliability, and safety of all inverter and balance‐of‐plant systems.

Key Responsibilities

• Oversee day-to-day O&M activities for power‐electronics systems (inverters, transformers, switchgear) across one or more utility-scale solar sites.
• Manage commissioning, preventive, predictive, and corrective maintenance programs for multi-MW inverter arrays.
• Lead root-cause analysis of faults, coordinate rapid parts replacement, and implement long-term reliability improvements.
• Supervise and mentor site technicians and 3rd-party service providers, ensuring compliance with safety protocols (LOTO, NFPA 70E, ISO 45001).
• Collaborate with Remote Operations (ROCC) teams to optimize SCADA alarm settings, data analytics, and KPI reporting.
• Drive continuous‐improvement initiatives, including firmware updates, capacity testing, and vendor performance reviews.
• Develop and maintain detailed documentation: O&M manuals, work orders, spare-parts logs, and performance reports.
• Coordinate with EPC, asset-management, and grid-interconnection stakeholders to support capacity testing, interconnection studies, and regulatory audits.

Required Qualifications

• 6+ years of utility-scale solar O&M experience, with responsibility for multi-hundred-MW / gigawatt-scale solar farms with power-electronics fleets.
• Deep technical knowledge of high-voltage inverters (e.g., Power Electronics, SMA, SolarEdge), medium-voltage transformers, and balance-of-plant equipment.
• Proven track record in commissioning and sustaining ≥ 80 MW inverter clusters, including firmware management and performance optimization.
• Strong leadership skills, with experience supervising cross-functional teams and managing third-party contractors.
• Proficiency with SCADA platforms, alarm management, and data-driven condition‐monitoring tools.
• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or related field; PE license or PMP certification preferred.
• Excellent communication and stakeholder‐management abilities.
• Familiarity with NERC CIP, IEEE 1547, and UL 1741 standards.
• Experience with asset‐management software (CMMS) and advanced analytics dashboards.
• Demonstrated success in implementing preventative‐maintenance strategies that reduce downtime and extend equipment life.

Preferred Credentials

• NFPA 70E Electrical Safety (arc-flash qualification)
• OSHA 500 Trainer (for on-site safety leadership)
• Project Management Professional (PMP) or Certified Maintenance & Reliability Professional (CMRP)
• Manufacturer-specific inverter certification (e.g., Power Electronics Field Service Training)
• IT/OT Security (e.g., CompTIA Security+, SCADA/SICSC certification)
• Journeyman Electrician License (or equivalent state-level electrical license)
• OSHA 30-Hour Construction Safety (or 30-Hour General Industry)
• NABCEP PV-Technical Installer (or PV Installation Professional)
• NERC Certified Energy Professional (CEP) or equivalent grid-operations credential
