| Aspect | Remote Solar Operator | Solar Technician |
|---|---|---|
| Credentials | Typically requires a relevant technical certification or associate degree | Requires similar certifications, often including electrician licenses or technical training |
| Work Environment | Primarily remote, monitoring and controlling solar systems online | On-site, performing installation, maintenance, and repairs |
| Industry Usage | Used in solar farms, remote monitoring centers, and energy management | Commonly found in installation companies, maintenance firms, and service providers |
The main difference between a Remote Solar Operator and a Solar Technician lies in their work environment and responsibilities. Remote Solar Operators primarily monitor and control solar systems remotely, often from a centralized location, while Solar Technicians are hands-on, working on-site to install and maintain solar equipment. Both roles require similar technical credentials, but their daily tasks and work settings differ significantly.

SDS Program Ownership: Own the SDS/SBS AutoCAD rollout roadmap, content backlog, and release cadence. Manage the transition from standard AutoCAD to SDS as the default workflow for standard substation projects.
Content Governance: Coordinate with Engineering Leads to maintain block libraries, naming conventions, attribute rules, sheet setup standards, and template release controls. Ensure every block, symbol, and template has an owner, revision date, approval status, and intended project type.
Training and Adoption: Develop and manage a role-based training program covering new users, checkers, project engineers, content owners, and production contributors. Track adoption metrics and report on progress against rollout milestones.
Technology and AI Integration: Coordinate with the ANS technology team on AutoCAD LISPs, automation scripts, and AI integrations. Ensure SDS outputs are structured to support automated checking workflows.
Cross-Department Collaboration: Work closely with Engineering Leads, and the technology and automation team to ensure SDS is integrated properly into design workflow.
Hands-on experience with SBS Substation Design Suite (SDS) or SBS AutoCAD in a substation engineering production environment. Candidates with deep AutoCAD substation experience and demonstrated ability to learn SDS will be considered.
Strong understanding of substation design P&C, Physical, or both. Ability to communicate credibly with engineers and reviewers on content standards and design intent.
Experience managing or contributing to AutoCAD block libraries, template standards, naming conventions, or similar design content governance programs.
Ability to develop and deliver training content to engineers, designers, and checkers with varying levels of SDS experience, including remote teams.
Familiarity with AutoCAD LISP, scripting, or automation tooling is a strong plus. Experience working alongside a technology or software development team is valued.
Strong organizational and program management skills. Comfortable managing a backlog, setting release cadence, and communicating progress against milestones to multiple stakeholders.
Ability to work as a team player across disciplines. This role requires strong cross-functional communication and the ability to build trust with both engineering and technology teams.
Self-starter with strong internal drive and integrity. Comfortable operating in a growing organization where processes are still being built and ownership requires initiative.
Associate's or Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering, engineering technology, drafting, or a related field preferred. Equivalent professional experience in substation design with strong SDS/AutoCAD depth will be considered in lieu of a degree.
5+ years of experience in substation design or a closely related field, with demonstrated ownership of production tools, templates, or standards.
