About The Position

The Technical Onboarding Asset Manager supports the onboarding, technical review, and turnover of new energy projects, primarily distributed solar and storage. Representing Asset Management during the commissioning review and handoff process, this role helps ensure assets are technically ready to transition from construction to operations and positioned for strong early-life performance. This individual does not lead field commissioning execution; instead, they review commissioning deliverables, validate technical readiness, and provide recommendations to support technical acceptance on behalf of Asset Management. The role is focused on accelerating the transition from Permission to Operate (PTO) to stable operations, while improving early-life performance and DAS reporting integrity through the timely identification and resolution of performance, reporting, and warranty issues that affect long-term reliability and accuracy. At Prologis, we are a relationship-based company, and success in this role requires someone who can combine technical rigor with diplomacy. The individual must be able to hold a high bar, enforce standards, and provide objective recommendations while maintaining credibility, professionalism, and strong working relationships across internal and external stakeholders. This role requires sound judgment to know when to push, where to push, and how to do so in a professional and constructive manner.

Use working knowledge of AlsoEnergy platforms, including PowerTrack and Athena for BESS, as well as the SolarEdge C&I inverter portal and Harksys DAS, to confirm communications are stable, data is accurate, systems are fully functional, and technical gating criteria are met prior to site acceptance.
Conduct occasional site visits to observe commissioning, performance testing, and punch list completion, supporting a smooth transition to the O&M provider.
Monitor early operating performance, identify deviations, track faults and outages, explain project shortfalls, and work with the construction project manager, EPC, EOM, and other stakeholders to implement corrective actions that maximize energy production, reporting integrity, and system availability.
Partner with internal and external stakeholders to improve the technical handover process, refine commissioning package requirements, support adherence to Prologis standards, and provide analytical and technical support in the review of EPC documentation, commissioning results, performance test results, and other critical turnover milestones.
Assist with asset onboarding activities, including maintaining and updating tracking checklists and related documentation.
