Responsibilities

  • Analyze turbine and wind-plant SCADA data to track power curves, evaluate energy yield, identify lost production, and diagnose recurring faults or derates.
  • Lead wind-resource and energy assessments for utility-scale wind projects, supporting early-stage development, financing, construction, and operational decision-making.
  • Analyze meteorological, reanalysis, operational, SCADA, remote-sensing, and geospatial datasets to develop defensible energy-production estimates and uncertainty assessments.
  • Contribute technical expertise to pre-construction energy assessments, independent-engineer assignments, operational assessments, repowering studies, and technical due-diligence reviews.
  • Evaluate project performance, uncertainty, losses, and risk factors using industry-standard and internally developed methodologies.
  • Prepare and review technical reports, presentations, and customer-facing deliverables.
  • Build trusted customer relationships and participate in technical discussions that support informed project outcomes.
  • Design, maintain, and enhance analytical tools, scripts, and automated workflows to solve complex wind-energy-assessment challenges and improve project-delivery efficiency.
  • Process, manage, and analyze large-scale datasets using coding, automation, and advanced data-analytics techniques to improve efficiency, consistency, and scalability beyond spreadsheet-based methods.
  • Develop custom analytical workflows and data-processing solutions to address customer requirements, automate repetitive tasks, and improve the consistency and scalability of technical analyses.
  • Maintain and enhance internally developed databases, templates, scripts, and analytical systems that support business operations and consulting services.
