Responsibilities
What does a Remote Operations Center Operator Do?
ROC Operator positions are some of the “invisible” jobs that are critical to maintaining a safe and reliable electric supply. A team of operators in our Boulder, Colorado, office will provide real-time support to Scout’s growing portfolio of operating wind projects across the country. Operators use the graphical user interfaces on their large display monitors to identify potential barriers to efficient operation of the wind turbines and substation.
No two shifts will look the same, but here are a few examples of what you may encounter during a shift as a ROC Operator at Scout:
In addition, the ROC Manager will provide each ROC Operator with a set of side work to complete during slower times on shift. These tasks will be tailored to the strengths of each Operator. Some examples may include:

Why is the ROC a great place to launch a career in renewable energy?
ROC Operators build their understanding of renewable energy generation from the ground up. Plant operations are the heart and soul of a renewable energy firm’s business and will serve you well throughout your career. Understanding what is physically happening at the facility prepares ROC Operators for roles in asset management, commodity trading, development, facility operations, site engineering, transmission, manufacturing, and project finance, among others.
Why is shift work appealing to so many people?
Scout’s ROC uses a 2-3-2 shift schedule. You would typically work a combination of days and nights over a two-week period. The big draw?
Qualifications and Skills

The successful entry-level candidate’s background will look something like this:
After coming on board and learning the ropes you will be required to attempt the PJM certification exam within 8 months’ time in service and to pass PJM exam within 12 months’ time in service.

What type of training can I expect to receive at Scout?
All of the specialized knowledge you need will be learned on the job – through a combination of formal training, self-study, and learning by doing. At the heart of the Operator training is the why. Not just why the ROC exists, but why the Operator performs each task required during shift. The ROC Manager’s philosophy is that by starting with “why”, and then focusing on picking the right “how” to accomplish a task, Operators are empowered with the knowledge, skills, and abilities to respond to dynamic events on shift. Once the Operator assess each situation and understands why and how, they can decide “what” to do. The steps to execute that “what” will be clearly described in standard procedures. This facilitates consistency in operations from one shift to the next and results in a highly professional way to calmly and quickly act in a dynamic environment.

Scout is currently hiring for one entry-level ROC Operator with a target start date in October 2022.
It will be expected that the ROC Operator will work from our ROC in Boulder, CO. This is not a remote-work assignment.
This position is paid hourly based on actual hours worked.
