Operations Control Center Operator

The OCC Operator is responsible for the safe and efficient operation of a portfolio of utility-scale solar PV and Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS).

Using SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) systems, the operator provides 24/7/365 remote monitoring, performs switching operations, troubleshoots equipment, and manages dispatch instructions to maximize availability and ensure grid compliance.

• Monitor and control PV and BESS facilities, including inverters, trackers, sensors, and meters, to ensure optimal performance.
• Execute dispatch instructions (curtailment, power factor, MW output) in compliance with Contractual protocols, Balancing Authorities (BAs), and Scheduling Coordinators.
• Manage Battery State of Charge (SOC), respond to grid signals for frequency regulation/voltage support, and monitor thermal health.
• Analyze SCADA alarms, diagnose faults, and perform remote resets to minimize downtime.
• Coordinate with field technicians for maintenance, troubleshooting, and safety (Lockout/Tagout - LOTO).
• Ensure compliance with NERC reliability standards (CIP, COM, PER, PRC, TOP).
• Maintain accurate, detailed logs of daily operations, incidents, and performance metrics in the Control Center database.
