What is an O&M job?

O&M stands for Operations and Maintenance, which refers to roles responsible for ensuring that equipment, facilities, or systems are running efficiently, safely, and reliably. O&M professionals typically handle routine inspections, preventive maintenance, troubleshooting, and repairs for machinery or infrastructure in industries such as energy, manufacturing, and utilities. Their work is vital for minimizing downtime, optimizing performance, and extending the lifespan of assets. These roles often require technical knowledge, problem-solving skills, and adherence to safety standards.

What skills and qualifications are needed to thrive as an O&M technician?

To thrive as an O&M Technician, you need strong mechanical and electrical troubleshooting skills, technical knowledge of facility systems, and typically a relevant technical diploma or certification. Familiarity with computerized maintenance management systems (CMMS), PLCs, and safety regulations is often required. Attention to detail, problem-solving ability, and effective communication are essential soft skills for success in this role. These skills ensure the efficient, safe, and reliable operation and maintenance of critical equipment and infrastructure.

What challenges do O&M professionals face when managing equipment and facility maintenance schedules?

O&M (Operations & Maintenance) professionals often face the challenge of balancing preventive maintenance with urgent repairs, all while minimizing downtime to keep operations running smoothly. Coordinating with multiple teams, adapting to unexpected equipment failures, and ensuring compliance with safety and regulatory standards are common hurdles. Effective communication, strong organizational skills, and adaptability are key to overcoming these challenges and ensuring facilities operate efficiently.

What is the difference between O&M vs Maintenance Technician?

AspectO&MMaintenance Technician
Required credentialsTypically includes certifications like OSHA, technical training, and sometimes specialized industry licensesOften requires technical certifications, HVAC, electrical, or mechanical licenses depending on specialization
Work environmentFieldwork at industrial sites, power plants, or facilities; involves inspections, troubleshooting, and operational tasksWorkshop or site-based; focuses on repairing, servicing, and maintaining equipment
Employer and industry usageCommon in energy, utilities, and industrial sectors for operational management rolesFound across manufacturing, facilities management, and industrial sectors for equipment upkeep

While both roles involve technical skills and work in industrial environments, O&M focuses on overseeing operations and ensuring systems run efficiently, whereas Maintenance Technicians primarily perform repairs and routine maintenance. Understanding these differences helps job seekers target the right roles based on their skills and career goals.

What does an operations and maintenance technician do?

Job description

Opportunity
Adapture Renewables, Inc. is on a mission to be a leader in this new era of sustainable energy. Drawing upon an extensive knowledge base, we develop, finance, engineer, build, own, and operate high quality utility-scale photovoltaic projects and battery energy storage projects. Our Operations and Maintenance (O&M) team is looking for an experienced Director of O&M Services to lead and elevate the technical, financial, and operational management of our growing operating fleet. Adapture Renewables is owned by KIRKBI Climate - the private holding and investment company of the Kirk Kristiansen family founded to build a sustainable future for the LEGO® brand through generations.
Overview
This position leads the O&M Services function within our Asset Management team, which is responsible for the technical and financial management of a growing portfolio (currently approximately 650 MW) of utility-scale solar and battery energy storage projects located across the United States. This is an opportunity to continue to build on ARI's O&M function by modernizing how the fleet is operated through data, automation, and disciplined financial management as the portfolio scales. The Director of O&M Services owns the strategy, operating budget, and vendor relationships that keep the fleet safe, available, and performing, partnering closely with the O&M Performance & Optimization, Asset Management, Engineering/EPC, and Project Finance teams. This is a leadership role that sets direction and holds execution accountability rather than performing day-to-day field tasks. This position reports to the VP of Asset Management and manages a small team (1-2 direct reports), including the O&M Manager.
Core Responsibilities
  • Strategy & fleet performance: Own the strategy and roadmap for the O&M Services function across the operating fleet. Define availability, performance, safety, and cost targets and the plan to achieve them.
  • Budget & P&L ownership: Build, own, and manage the annual O&M operating budgets and the O&M P&L. Lead a monthly budget-vs-actual cadence with rigorous variance analysis, root-causing, and reforecasting; benchmark cost-per-MW and cost-per-MWh across the fleet; and tie O&M spend to production and revenue. Report financial and operational performance to Asset Management leadership and ownership.
  • Data- & AI-enabled operations: Advance condition-based and predictive maintenance across the fleet by using fleet monitoring and operational data. Leverage analytics and AI tools to automate performance reporting, accelerate root-cause analysis, streamline contract and warranty review, and document recurring fixes and operating procedures.
  • Vendor & contract leadership: Lead the negotiation, structuring, and management of O&M service contracts, warranty agreements, and parts/service procurement. Hold third-party providers accountable through data-driven performance scorecards and KPI-based service levels, and use performance data to inform make-vs-buy and self-perform decisions as the fleet grows.
  • Systems & process architecture: Own the work-management and CMMS strategy for the function, consolidating monitoring tools into a single, reliable source of plant data. Standardize O&M processes so the function scales efficiently with a growing portfolio.
  • Team leadership: Lead and develop the O&M Services team (1-2 direct reports), including the O&M Manager. Set clear success criteria, give the team autonomy to operate, and build hiring and capability for a growing fleet.
  • Set the standard for fleet monitoring, troubleshooting, and work-order management; ensure issues are correctly identified, prioritized, and tracked to resolution with documented fiscal impact.
  • Direct spare-parts inventory strategy and supply-chain readiness across the fleet, addressing deficiencies before they affect availability.
  • Build reliability-engineering practices, including fleet-wide failure-mode trending and root-cause analysis.
  • Manage escalations and relationships with equipment suppliers and OEMs to secure warranty support and resolve recurring issues.
  • Partner cross-functionally with the O&M Performance & Optimization, Engineering/EPC, and Quality teams; feed O&M lessons learned into future project designs and reviews.
  • Own O&M readiness for the commissioning and onboarding of new projects entering the operating fleet.
  • Oversee site-services contractors and obligations, including regular and special (habitat) vegetation management; ISO connectivity (CAISO, ERCOT, PJM, etc.) issues; and fencing, gates, security, site access roads, erosion, tree trimming, neighbor relations, and related site activities.
  • Establish and maintain reporting standards: scheduled technical operating reports, periodic performance assessments, and budget/variance reporting for management and ownership.
  • Regular travel to operating sites is required.

Qualifications and Experience
  • 7+ years of experience in solar O&M or operations with progressively increasing leadership responsibility; utility-scale strongly preferred.
  • Demonstrated people-leadership experience, including managing teams and/or third-party service providers.
  • Strong financial acumen, including P&L ownership, monthly budget-vs-actual and variance analysis, cost benchmarking, and building data-backed capital expenditure business cases.
  • Demonstrated use of data and analytics, and ideally AI tools, to improve operational outcomes such as availability, performance, and cost-to-resolution.
  • Direct experience negotiating and managing vendor and contract relationships, including O&M service agreements, warranties, and parts/service procurement, and KPI-based performance management.
  • Strong technical grounding across utility-scale PV and BESS systems, including troubleshooting strings/modules, inverters, combiner boxes, feeder lines (direct burial or conduit), racking hardware, tracker motors, actuators, bearings, controllers, sensors, and DAS/SCADA components.
  • Experience operating and maintaining battery energy storage systems strongly preferred, including familiarity with degradation, augmentation, and storage warranty management.
  • A continuous-improvement or reliability-engineering mindset, including root-cause analysis, failure-mode trending, and process standardization.
  • Excellent communication skills, a high level of organization, and the ability to lead cross-functionally with contractors, suppliers, and internal teams.
  • Proficiency with MS Office and web-based monitoring and field-service platforms such as PowerFactors and Salesforce; able to manage department directories and standard business applications.
  • Ability to take initiative and operate independently with limited guidance, with a drive to build and grow the function.
  • Bachelor's degree in engineering or a related field preferred.

Benefits Package
  • 401(k) plan with company matching contribution
  • Competitive health, vision, and dental benefits
  • Attractive personal time off and company holiday package
  • Work-from-home policy (Oakland, CA headquarters with hybrid/remote flexibility)
  • Annual base salary, commensurate with experience, from $200,000 - $225,000
