About The Position

We are seeking individuals to join as an Operations & Maintenance (O&M) Technical Coordinator to support day-to-day administrative and technical O&M activities across assigned utility-scale battery energy storage system (BESS) assets in the ERCOT market. This role reports to the O&M Manager, Asset Management (ERCOT). The primary purpose of this role is to execute and coordinate key administrative and technical O&M support workflows, including warranty administration, technical issue tracking, vendor follow-up, documentation management, and reporting, to improve execution efficiency, issue resolution cadence, and operational visibility across assigned ERCOT assets. This is a technical support and execution role within Asset Management, supporting Field Operations and asset management activities. It is not a primary site operator or field technician position; however, periodic travel to ERCOT project sites is required, as needed, to support audits, internal and external reporting, inspections, vendor coordination, issue verification, commissioning and testing support, and field fact-gathering activities. This role is well-suited for candidates with utility-scale BESS/renewables O&M, field service, commissioning, or operations coordination experience who are strong in execution, documentation, and cross-functional follow-through.

Requirements

2-5 years of experience in utility-scale power generation, preferably in renewables and/or BESS, including solar + storage, field service, commissioning, or industrial electrical operations and maintenance.
Bachelor’s degree in engineering, engineering technology, operations, or related field required.
Equivalent combinations of education, technical training, and relevant utility-scale, industrial, or military technical experience will be considered.
Experience supporting maintenance scheduling, work tracking, or service coordination for PM/CM activities in a power generation, renewables, or industrial environment.
Working knowledge of utility-scale BESS equipment and plant systems, including battery systems, PCS/inverters, transformers, switchgear, protection/controls, metering, communications interfaces, and SCADA/telemetry or plant monitoring systems (including alarm review and operational status verification).
Experience working cross-functionally with internal teams (e.g., Asset Management, Field Operations, HSE, Compliance, Engineering) and external stakeholders (e.g., OEMs, contractors, service providers, inspectors) to support issue resolution, documentation, and execution of site-related activities.
Strong organizational skills, follow-through, and written/verbal communication, including the ability to manage multiple open items across sites/vendors and provide clear status updates and issue summaries.
Experience with CMMS / asset tracking systems and proficiency in Microsoft Office (Excel, Word, Outlook, PowerPoint).
Valid driver’s license and ability to travel to assigned ERCOT sites as needed.

Nice To Haves

Direct experience with utility-scale BESS operations, maintenance, commissioning, or field service.
Experience supporting assets in the ERCOT market and/or Texas utility-scale power operations.
Familiarity with plant operational workflows, including dispatch/monitoring interfaces, outage coordination, and site commissioning and testing support.
Ability to read and interpret one-lines, wiring diagrams, OEM manuals, and maintenance procedures.
Experience with compliance documentation support, audit preparation, and evidence retention practices.
OSHA 10/30, NFPA 70E, LOTO/JHA training, or OEM/system integrator training related to BESS, PCS, EMS, SCADA, or protection systems.

Responsibilities

Support the O&M Manager with day-to-day administrative and technical operations activities across assigned ERCOT assets.
Track open operational issues, maintenance items, vendor actions, and escalations; maintain clear ownership, due dates, status, and closure documentation.
Support scheduling and tracking of preventive maintenance (PM) and corrective maintenance (CM) activities, including vendor coordination, status updates, and completion of documentation for assigned ERCOT assets.
Prepare and submit warranty claims to OEMs, integrators, and service providers, track claims through response, corrective action, and closure.
Support technical issue triage by organizing field and system information; collect and maintain supporting technical documentation and evidence (e.g., equipment serial numbers, service reports, dispatch notes, alarm/fault logs, and related records).
Coordinate cross-functional follow-through with Asset Management, Field Operations, HSE, Compliance, Operations Engineering, and external vendors/service providers to support issue resolution, documentation quality, and operational readiness.
Maintain issue trackers, warranty logs, and operational records in company systems (e.g., CMMS and asset tracking databases); maintain inventory and serialized component tracking, including spares, RMAs, replacements, and returns.
Coordinate vendor visits, service dispatches, and follow-up actions; ensure required service documentation is received and properly archived.
Travel to ERCOT sites as needed to support audits, inspections, issue verification, commissioning and testing support, and field fact-gathering, document observations, action items, and follow-up requirements for the O&M Manager and relevant teams.
Support construction and commissioning activities on an as-needed basis, including testing support, punch-list follow-up, documentation collection, and coordination with internal and external teams to improve Asset Management readiness and post-COD operational knowledge continuity.
Coordinate internal and external reporting, audit/compliance documentation, and updates to operational procedures and response documentation.
Adhere to and enforce esVolta safety rules, practices, and procedures; maintain a “stop work” mindset, escalate hazards immediately, and partner with HSE to ensure safe execution during vendor visits, inspections, and commissioning/testing support activities.
