• Use tools like WREGIS and AVEVA PI to complete tasks the way you would in your day-to-day role
• Deliver expert-level work that forms the foundation of AI training datasets for energy industry applications
• Complete tasks at your own pace with no set schedule or minimum hour requirement

Qualifications

• 2+ years of professional experience in renewable energy generation, forecasting, or environmental markets, in a role such as:

• Renewable Generation Performance Analyst

• Renewable Asset Forecasting Analyst

• REC / Environmental Markets Analyst

• Ability to independently produce work using:

• WREGIS

• AVEVA PI

• Hands-on experience with workflows such as renewable generation forecasting and performance reporting, and REC verification and retirement

• Bachelor's degree or higher required

• Strong written communication skills, attention to detail, and the ability to work independently in a remote, asynchronous environment
