Join Our Team!
We are currently recruiting a Remote OPS Center Manager to join our team and contribute to key projects in a dynamic and collaborative environment. This role is part of a global team working toward common goals. We operate as one company, across all locations, with shared responsibility and clear accountability.
The Remote Operations Center (ROC) Manager leads a team of operators across rotating 24/7 shifts, providing real-time oversight of a multi-technology renewable energy portfolio spanning wind, battery energy storage systems (BESS), and utility-scale solar photovoltaic (PV) assets. The portfolio is currently concentrated in the US Southwest (CAISO market), with planned expansion into MISO and ERCOT, and includes wind assets in Alberta and Québec with future MISO expansion.
The Manager ensures safe, reliable, and compliant operations across all assets, serves as the primary escalation point for real-time operational issues, and fosters a culture of continuous improvement within the ROC. This role is pivotal in bridging field operations, scheduling coordination, asset management, and SCADA-driven alarm management. In addition, the Manager will serve as a key contributor in the stand-up of a new ROC facility launching January 1, 2027, with significant hands-on involvement throughout the first three months of operations to ensure the center is fully staffed, operationally ready, and performing to standard.
