Technical Manager

Assistant Technical Manager | Solar & BESS

You’ve probably already proved you can run a site.

You know what good O&M looks like. You’re technically strong, comfortable around HV systems, fault finding and plant performance, and you’re the person people turn to when something difficult needs sorting properly.

Now you’re ready for more than one asset.

This role is a step into broader technical leadership across multiple utility-scale solar and battery sites. You’ll still be close to the technical detail, but your influence will stretch much further across the operation.

You’ll work with site leaders and technical teams to improve how assets perform, how faults are resolved and how maintenance is delivered. When something goes wrong, you’ll help get to the root cause. When performance slips, you’ll help understand why. And when site teams, contractors or equipment suppliers need direction, you’ll be one of the people helping drive the solution.

The role

• Support site leaders and O&M teams across multiple renewable energy assets
• Troubleshoot complex electrical and HV issues
• Investigate faults, incidents and root causes
• Improve asset availability, reliability and performance
• Review and improve maintenance strategies
• Work closely with OEMs, suppliers and specialist contractors
• Support SCADA, operational monitoring and maintenance systems
• Develop technical processes, procedures and reporting
• Mentor field teams and lift technical capability
• Support new assets as they move into operations

About you

• You’ll likely have come through either an electrical trade or electrical engineering pathway and built strong experience in utility-scale solar, BESS or similar power infrastructure.
• You’ll be comfortable with HV and MV equipment and have enough O&M experience to understand how operating assets behave in the real world, not just how they were designed to perform.
• You may currently be working as a Plant Manager, O&M Manager, Technical Manager, Electrical Manager, Senior Electrical Engineer or similar.
• You’ll bring a strong electrical background, solid HV/MV capability, meaningful solar and/or BESS O&M experience, management exposure and a good understanding of SCADA.

Why make the move?

Because you’ve probably reached the point where running one site isn’t enough.

You want broader exposure, more influence and the chance to help shape how an entire renewable energy operation performs.

That’s what this role offers.

There is significant scope for the position to grow as the business expands. For the right person, this is a genuine pathway from site-level leadership into a much broader technical leadership role.
