You will also act as a junior project manager, supporting the delivery of optimisation initiatives and small-scale upgrade projects across our existing assets.

  • Monitor Asset Performance : Continuously track the operational performance of our renewable energy assets (e.g. solar, wind, BESS) using SCADA and other monitoring platforms.
  • Data Analysis & Reporting : Analyse plant-level and fleet-level data to identify performance deviations, trends, and improvement opportunities. Prepare and distribute daily, weekly, and monthly performance reports.
  • Performance Optimisation : Investigate underperformance issues and support root cause analysis. Propose and track corrective actions or optimisation initiatives to improve asset efficiency and availability.
  • Forecasting & Modelling : Support the development of short-term and long-term generation forecasts for the Trading team. Collaborate with data science or analytics teams to refine predictive models.
  • Support Maintenance Strategy : Work closely with on-site O&M partners and the OOM team to track maintenance schedules and ensure timely execution of preventive and corrective activities. Analyse maintenance data to support reliability improvements.
  • Project Support & Implementation : Act as a junior project manager or technical coordinator for small-scale upgrade projects, system enhancements, or optimisation initiatives. Maintain accurate records of asset performance, interventions, and project activities.
  • Stakeholder Collaboration : Collaborate with the internal Assets-, Trading-, and Commercial teams to ensure alignment between technical operations and business objectives.
  • Technology Integration : Assist in evaluating and implementing new tools, platforms, and technologies for better asset monitoring, data management, and optimisation.
  • Continuous Improvement : Contribute to the development and refinement of internal processes, performance benchmarks, and best practices for renewable energy O&M.
  • Participate in ongoing proceedings related to tariffs and market mechanisms to inform and update our modelling and design processes.
  • QUALIFICATIONS AND EXPERIENCE

  • Education : BSc, BEng or BTech (any discipline)
  • Experience : 3 to 5 years of working experience in a relevant role will be considered.
  • Experience with Utility Scale Solar PV, BESS and Wind data analysis or modelling, project design and / or implementation experience. An understanding of energy consumption patterns and energy tariffs will be an advantage.
  • TECHNICAL COMPETENCE

  • Experience working with data and the ability to synthesize and present results clearly and concisely for decision-making purposes.
  • Sound understanding of basic financial modelling and financial concepts.
  • Proficiency in utilizing various software products, including Microsoft Office suite with advanced Excel or spreadsheet modelling skills.
  • Experience with programming (Python or similar) and working with SQL or databases will be an advantage.
  • BEHAVIOURAL COMPETENCE

  • Strong attention to detail
  • Excellent communication and presentation skills, with a knack for conveying technical solutions to diverse audiences effectively.
