The

supports the existing RWECE solar fleet’s engineering needs with goals of providing safe, highly available, and cost-effective solar electricity to our customers.

This position will be the key analyst, reviewer, and SME for these efforts. Day-to-day work involves interaction with other engineers, staff, and plant operators, to determine root causes of failures and evaluate the impact of proposed improvements, expansion, and equipment.

The role leads efforts from opportunity identification through ‘go/no-go’ decisions and eventual completion of projects. Work involves collaboration with field staff, third party providers, and manufacturers – assessing how to improve plant energy yield.
