Do you want to help create a cleaner power supply? Are you looking to launch your career in the growing renewable energy industry? Do you have high attention to detail and the ability to prioritize effectively during busy periods? Will you work a shift position that gives you a three-day weekend every other weekend? If you answered yes to all of these questions, then read on to learn more about the Remote Operations Center (ROC) at Scout. ROC Operator positions are some of the “invisible” jobs that are critical to maintaining a safe and reliable electric supply. A team of operators in our Boulder, Colorado, office will provide real-time support to Scout's growing portfolio of operating wind projects across the country. Operators use the graphical user interfaces on their large display monitors to identify potential barriers to efficient operation of the wind turbines/solar inverters and substations. No two shifts will look the same, but here are a few examples of what you may encounter during a shift as a ROC Operator at Scout: Building and maintaining relationships with primary stakeholders and market participants (including power purchasers, scheduling entities, system operators and facility technicians) to optimize performance. Informing grid operators about planned and unplanned outages at the plant. Coordinating with wind facility managers as they perform on-site maintenance. Monitoring our data acquisition equipment. Providing detailed notes about the events of the day in a formal (digital) logbook. Providing informal updates to Scout executives as the need arises. Compiling or reviewing standard reports that are viewed by senior leaders at Scout or our business partners. In addition, the ROC Manager will provide each ROC Operator with a set of side work to complete during slower times on shift. These tasks will be tailored to the strengths of each Operator. Some examples may include: Extracting, and potentially analyzing, data about the facility's production as compared to the schedule filed with the grid operator. Completing ongoing training and certifications, such as the NERC Generator Operators Certification. Assisting to build or refine operational tools. Assist with adding newly constructed sites to our data acquisition infrastructure. Participate in review and revision of operational procedures. Participate in cybersecurity audits of our site networks.
