Who You Are
You’ll be a good fit if you have solid technical depth and a strong customer mindset. You proactively identify and diagnose issues, not just respond to alerts, and communicate them clearly.

Performance Alerts: Monitor KPIs such as inverter availability, charge/discharge rates, temperature thresholds, and SOC trends; flag underperformance or system drift.
Documentation: Maintain accurate logs of alarms, incidents, communications, and shift turnovers for auditability and continuous improvement.
Communication Hub: Interface with internal teams (engineering, field service, customer support) to ensure aligned responses and timely resolution.
Emergency Protocols: Activate emergency response playbooks in the event of fire risk, grid safety concerns, or battery thermal events—ensuring safety, compliance, and rapid escalation.
Required Experience
2+ years of experience in operations/monitoring roles, NOC/SOC environments, or utility/dispatch roles (O&M, SCADA, EMS, etc.)
