role

Position Summary

- The Performance Engineering Analyst supports the operational and financial performance of   Elevate’s   BESS and BESS + Solar portfolio. This role transforms   SCADA,    operational, and commercial data into actionable insights; identifies and quantifies performance losses; and works with   Commercial   Asset Management,   Technical Asset Management, Engineering, O&M providers, and equipment suppliers to improve asset availability, energy production, reliability, and revenue. The analyst will own recurring performance analysis and   technical   reporting while supporting more complex testing, degradation, warranty, and controls   programs.

Key Responsibilities

Performance Monitoring and Analysis

- Monitor portfolio performance using SCADA, DAS, BMS, EMS, telemetry,   fire   system   and analytics platforms; review asset health, alarms, availability, and operating trends.

- Compare actual performance with budgets, forecasts, weather-adjusted expectations, engineering models, and contractual performance requirements.

- Calculate and interpret solar KPIs including performance ratio, availability, capacity factor, irradiance variance, degradation, and forecast-to-actual production.

- Analyze BESS KPIs including system and PCS availability, dispatch adherence, round-trip efficiency, auxiliary consumption, usable capacity, throughput, cycling, state of charge, and state of   health.   Issue   Investigation and Resolution

- Investigate routine and moderately complex underperformance, distinguishing equipment failures from weather, curtailment, soiling, clipping, derates, control events, and data-quality issues.

- Quantify lost energy, unavailable capacity, and associated revenue exposure; prioritize findings based on operational and   financial impact.

- Prepare concise issue summaries and   recommended   next steps for Asset Management, Operations, Engineering, O&M providers, OEMs, and other stakeholders.

- Track corrective actions through resolution,   validate   performance recovery, and document recurring or systemic issues across the fleet.

Reporting Data and Continuous Improvement

- Prepare   accurate   monthly, quarterly, annual, and ad hoc performance reporting, including variance commentary and management-ready summaries.

- Clean,   validate, and structure operational datasets for dashboards, automated reporting, performance calculations,   compliance   obligations   and portfolio benchmarking.

- Support project onboarding and the transition from construction to operations by   validating   monitoring configurations, equipment hierarchies, expected-performance models, and available technical documentation.

- Improve   AI tools,   dashboards, calculations, documentation, and analytical workflows; support senior team members with performance testing, degradation studies, warranty analysis, and complex root-cause investigations.

Candidate Profile

Required Experience

- Bachelor’s degree in engineering, data analytics, computer science, physics, renewable energy, or a related technical discipline, with 1–3 years of relevant professional experience.

- Experience analyzing time-series or operational data, including the ability to   identify   data gaps, outliers, sensor issues, and inconsistent timestamps; advanced Excel skills and working   proficiency   in Python or SQL.

- Demonstrated ability to investigate technical issues, quantify performance impacts, communicate findings clearly, and follow actions through resolution across multiple priorities.

- Working knowledge of solar PV or BESS operations, electrical systems, SCADA/DAS   data, and core performance concepts such as availability, performance ratio, capacity factor, efficiency, degradation, and lost energy.

Preferred

- Experience with   AI platforms,   PVsyst, Power BI, Tableau, Grafana, AVEVA PI, Power Factors, AlsoEnergy, OEM monitoring portals, or BMS/EMS platforms; familiarity with utility-scale or commercial and industrial renewable assets.

- Exposure to BESS capacity testing, round-trip efficiency, state-of-charge and state-of-health analysis, battery degradation, warranty compliance, solar performance testing, or revenue-impact analysis.
