Position Summary

• The Performance Engineering Analyst supports the operational and financial performance of Elevate’s BESS and BESS + Solar portfolio. This role transforms SCADA, operational, and commercial data into actionable insights; identifies and quantifies performance losses; and works with Commercial Asset Management, Technical Asset Management, Engineering, O&M providers, and equipment suppliers to improve asset availability, energy production, reliability, and revenue. The analyst will own recurring performance analysis and technical reporting while supporting more complex testing, degradation, warranty, and controls programs.

Key Responsibilities

• Monitor portfolio performance using SCADA, DAS, BMS, EMS, telemetry, fire system and analytics platforms; review asset health, alarms, availability, and operating trends.
• Compare actual performance with budgets, forecasts, weather‑adjusted expectations, engineering models, and contractual performance requirements.
• Calculate and interpret solar KPIs including performance ratio, availability, capacity factor, irradiance variance, degradation, and forecast‑to‑actual production.
• Analyze BESS KPIs including system and PCS availability, dispatch adherence, round‑trip efficiency, auxiliary consumption, usable capacity, throughput, cycling, state of charge, and state of health.

• Investigate routine and moderately complex underperformance, distinguishing equipment failures from weather, curtailment, soiling, clipping, derates, control events, and data‑quality issues.
• Quantify lost energy, unavailable capacity, and associated revenue exposure; prioritize findings based on operational and financial impact.
• Prepare concise issue summaries and recommended next steps for Asset Management, Operations, Engineering, O&M providers, OEMs, and other stakeholders.
• Track corrective actions through resolution, validate performance recovery, and document recurring or systemic issues across the fleet.

• Prepare accurate monthly, quarterly, annual, and ad‑hoc performance reporting, including variance commentary and management‑ready summaries.
• Clean, validate, and structure operational datasets for dashboards, automated reporting, performance calculations, compliance obligations and portfolio benchmarking.
• Support project onboarding and the transition from construction to operations by validating monitoring configurations, equipment hierarchies, expected‑performance models, and available technical documentation.
• Improve AI tools, dashboards, calculations, documentation, and analytical workflows; support senior team members with performance testing, degradation studies, warranty analysis, and complex root‑cause investigations.
