About The Role
We are seeking individuals to join as Senior Manager, Operations Technology to serve as the fleet Operational Technology design authority and owner's technical lead for OT systems across the portfolio. This role standardizes OT architecture, control and telemetry implementations, operational runbooks, and evidence production across sites and vendors throughout the full asset lifecycle (development, pre-construction, construction, commissioning/commercial operation date, and operations). The role partners closely with Operations, Operations Engineering, IT/Security, Compliance, Asset Management, and external vendors to ensure OT systems are reliable, secure, scalable, and operationally ready.
Compliance retains ownership of regulatory interpretation, compliance program governance, and regulator and audit responses. This role owns OT control execution, OT system governance, and the technical artifacts and evidence needed to support compliance and audit readiness. This role holds owner-side approval authority for OT access and material OT changes (including access changes, control/telemetry configuration changes, and network/security changes impacting OT), including vendor planned work. The role may pause or escalate work that does not meet fleet standards, documentation, safety requirements, or audit-evidence expectations.
Core Responsibilities

• Own OT lifecycle for the BESS fleet and ROC, including the Energy Management System (EMS), site controllers, SCADA, telemetry, communications, and monitoring/logging.
• Act as fleet OT design authority: define and maintain standards/baselines (architecture, segmentation, naming, telemetry, monitoring) and enforce adoption.
• Embed OT requirements into development and EPC scopes through design reviews and required as-built deliverables.
• Define commissioning and turnover criteria, including Factory Acceptance Test (FAT) and Site Acceptance Test (SAT) scope, point-to-point checks, telemetry validation, and control-mode readiness; partner with Operations Engineering to close gaps.
• Own ISO-facing dispatch readiness: control-mode governance, telemetry quality, communications performance, and ROC/market coordination.
• Ensure 24x7 operational readiness via runbooks, alarm rationalization, escalation paths, and data-quality controls that support dispatch performance.
• Administer OT vendor performance (managed OT security services, EMS vendors, and OEM partners): set requirements, approve work, verify deliverables, enforce SLAs, and lead escalations; deliver audit-ready OT evidence and exception tracking to Compliance and run a recurring vendor performance review cadence aligned to contract deliverables and operational risk.
• Run OT cybersecurity and access governance with IT/Security and managed providers, including remote access workflows, MFA, logging, and periodic access reviews.
• Govern OT change/release management across vendors (OEM, EMS, network/security), including patching, configuration control, rollback planning, and evidence retention/traceability.
• Lead OT incident response and resilience for control, communications, and cyber events, including root cause analysis, corrective actions, backup/restore, disaster recovery and business continuity planning; coordinate with Operations and HSE on safe work controls and outage planning.

Skills & Qualifications

• 5-7+ years of Operational Technology experience is required, including 3+ years in renewables, energy storage, or critical infrastructure operations.
• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Controls/Automation Engineering, or related field is required (ABET-accredited preferred). Relevant certifications preferred (e.g., GICSP/GRID, CISSP, or ISA/IEC 62443-aligned OT cybersecurity credentials/training).
• Proven ROC/24x7 support and ISO telemetry/control readiness (CAISO and ERCOT; other ISO/RTO experience a plus).
• Strong OT networking and protocol knowledge (DNP3, Modbus, ICCP where applicable).
• Owner-side leadership across the full project lifecycle (development through operations), including commissioning/turnover and acceptance testing (FAT/SAT).
• Demonstrated OT cybersecurity governance experience (NIST, IEC 62443), including vendor/remote-access controls; familiarity with NERC/CIP concepts.
• Hands-on IAM and vendor remote access governance (approvals, logging, recertifications) and OT change/configuration management (patching/releases, baselines, rollback).
• Vendor and contract-performance management experience (SLAs, KPIs, escalation, corrective actions to closure).
• Strong troubleshooting and structured problem solving, including leading technical RCAs and preventing recurrence.
• Strong communication and cross-functional leadership across internal teams and vendors; able to brief leadership.
