Utility-Scale Solar Commissioning Lead

Location: Remote (United States), with occasional travel—up to 20%—to project sites nationwide and to our client’s headquarters in Juno Beach, Florida.

Contract: 1-year assignment (W-2). Reports to the Senior Project Manager.

Sunrise finds you reviewing overnight data streams from a new PV site: inverter outputs, tracker alignment, substation status, and SCADA points all flowing into your dashboard. By mid-morning, you’re on a call with the SCADA Integrator and the Execution Commissioning Project Manager, dialing in the commissioning schedule tied to mechanical completion. After lunch, you coordinate test energy forecasts and AVR/AGC notifications with the control center and external partners ahead of PPA, GIA, and ISO testing. In the afternoon, you act as the Owner’s representative during a startup milestone—verifying HMI accuracy, supporting CEWIS Critical Point Checkout with ROCC alarm checks/PGD, and flagging any performance deficiencies before they become issues. You close the day by documenting progress and contractor/vendor commissioning activities for executive-ready status reporting.
