Confidential mandate
Renewable Asset Performance Director — Consulting
Planned Hiring / New
A renewable-energy owner commissions a five-month performance programme to reconcile resource, availability, curtailment and loss data, then prove recovery actions across selected wind and solar assets.
The mandate
The defined problem is unexplained generation underperformance hidden by inconsistent resource, availability and curtailment definitions. Asset teams and vendors disagree on how much loss is controllable.
The deliverable is a reconciled performance bridge, loss tree, root-cause evidence, prioritised recovery backlog, vendor claim pack, eight-week action pilot and portfolio operating standard.
Milestone one is due 31 October 2026 with baseline and loss tree; milestone two on 15 December with causal findings and action plan; milestone three on 28 February 2027 with pilot results, accepted claims and transferred standard.
The Asset Performance Committee accepts when energy balances reconcile within two percent, top losses have evidenced causes, pilot assets recover the agreed weather-normalised output without safety deterioration and finance validates realised value.
The owner provides SCADA, meter, weather, alarm, outage, curtailment, work-order, contract and invoice data plus site access. OEM and operations personnel attend causal reviews.
Why this is external work
Operators and equipment providers attribute loss differently and have contractual interests in the answer. Independent technical and commercial analysis can establish one bridge. The specialist team exits after recovery actions are proved and embedded.
What you will own
- Reconcile resource-to-meter energy across selected assets for milestone one.
- Separate resource, grid, availability, performance and accounting losses.
- Test causal hypotheses against alarms, work orders and equipment evidence.
- Quantify recovery actions and supplier-accountability positions.
- Run an eight-week pilot on agreed wind and solar assets.
- Verify weather-normalised output, safety and realised economic value.
- Transfer the milestone-three operating standard and claim evidence.
Candidate qualifications
- 18–22 years in wind, solar, asset management or performance engineering.
- Direct recovery of underperforming renewable assets using reconciled energy balances.
- Experience distinguishing weather, curtailment, availability and equipment losses.
- Evidence of converting technical findings into enforceable supplier claims.
- Strong SCADA, work-order and commercial-analysis capability.
- Independence from relevant OEMs and service providers.
Non-negotiables
- No OEM, service or claim-recovery commission.
- Director attends causal reviews and pilot sites.
- Benefits measured on pre-agreed weather-normalised logic.
- Safety approval precedes every operational change.
- 49 words maximum. Which renewable underperformance case did you resolve, and what loss category had been misclassified?
- 49 words maximum. How would you reconcile resource, SCADA and revenue meters during milestone one?
- 49 words maximum. Which contracts and operational records are required to support supplier claims?
