Operations&Maintenance Technician, Union Hill

This is a hands-on technical role for someone who wants to keep the lights on in some of the most beautiful and remote corners of the Western US— and help build the foundation of a modern O&M department while doing it. As an Operations&Maintenance Technician (OMT), you will be on the front line of monitoring, maintaining , and troubleshooting our deployed microgrid fleet. You'll work across solar PV, battery energy storage, generators, inverters, and controls; you'll travel to scenic remote sites; and you'll partner directly with our engineering, field services, and project management teams to keep our near-100% reliability record intact. We are growing our service department and standing up the systems, processes, and partnerships that will support a much larger fleet over the next few years. If the idea of helping shape an O&M program from the ground up— not just executing an existing one — excites you, we want to hear from you. Key Responsibilities: Operations Develop a deep understanding of each system's behavior, proactively identify emerging issues, and coordinate corrective action with field services and engineering. Identify opportunities to improve processes, response times, and SLA performance — and help build the SOPs that scale them across the fleet. Help uphold our 99.7% power reliability record and contribute to department profitability. System Maintenance Coordinate and conduct routine maintenance (typically bi-annual) covering inverter, PV, BESS, generator, structural, and mechanical systems. Serve as the primary point of contact and coordinator for third-party service providers and regional subcontractors. Documentation&O&M Program Development Maintain accurate , audit-ready records of all service activity— installation, maintenance, repairs, and incidents. Generate work orders, hazard analyses, field service reports, incident reports, and customer-facing performance reports. Help build out and improve our CMMS and documentation tracking system, including PM checklists, asset registries, and spareparts inventory. Contribute to the standardization of O&M templates, escalation playbooks, and root cause analysis workflows as we scale the department. Troubleshooting&Response Respond promptly to alerts and service calls during on-call rotations and triage issues remotely where possible. Analyze SCADA/monitoring data, system logs, and diagnostic outputs to resolve technical problems efficiently. Mobilize to site or assist field crews when complex issues require hands-on resolution. Customer Support Prepare reports and updates for monthly performance reviews and contract milestones. Translate technical concepts into clear language non-technical stakeholders can act on. Installation&Commissioning Support installation, commissioning, and repair of microgrid components as needed— PV, BESS, generators, controls, and networking. Cross-Functional Collaboration Bring real-world field feedback back to product and engineering to drive design improvements. Ensure compliance with industry standards, safety regulations, and project specifications throughout the asset lifecycle.
