Manager, Remote Operations (Asset Management)

The posting, as Orenda wrote it

Company

Orenda is on a mission to make the grid more efficient with renewable energy projects and proprietary asset management technology. We develop, build, own and operate battery energy storage projects in dense urban environments to bridge the gap between renewables and electricity consumption.

We are a dynamic, NYC-based company at the forefront of a new industry. We are seeking highly motivated and incredibly talented individuals who wish to contribute to our important mission.

About the Team

Orenda’s Asset Management department is responsible for the safe, compliant, and profitable long-term operation of the company’s entire fleet of Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) assets. Our primary objective is to maximize asset availability, revenue capture, and operational lifespan while managing all contractual, regulatory, and stakeholder obligations. Four functions report to the Director of Asset Management: Operations & Maintenance (site operations), Asset Integrity (engineering), Remote Operations (24/7 command center & markets), and Commercial & Regulatory (contracts, compliance and reporting). We own the operating system that makes fleet operations repeatable at scale: engineered maintenance programs, a 24/7 monitoring capability, disciplined handovers from construction, and decision grade reporting.

We partner cross functionally with Development, Pre-Construction, Construction, Asset Technology, and Finance to ensure assets arrive operable and operate profitably.

About the Role

The Manager, Remote Operations runs the fleet's command center. As leader of Remote Operations, you own the unified 24/7 real-time control and data intelligence function of the Asset Management department delivered today through an outsourced, NERC-CIP certified NOC vendor and an in-house daytime desk that you will build and operate. The fleet is monitored around the clock; your job is to make the vendor perform, make the desk genuinely capable, and keep the operating knowledge inside Orenda so that as the fleet scales, the company understands how its assets run and earn better than any vendor does.

Reporting to the Director of Asset Management, you build this function from zero: the alarm philosophy and response playbooks the fleet is monitored against, the dispatch and work order flow to the field, the real time interface with utility grid operators, the performance and warranty data watchdog, and the revenue strategy and operating constraints that govern the automated dispatch engine. You are the business owner of the operator facing EMS/SCADA tools, and every market revenue statement is audited against data you control. This is the role that makes the fleet observable, dispatchable, and honest about what it earns.

• This role is ideal for: an operations center leader who has lived shift work, knows what a clean alarm philosophy feels like, and holds vendors and optimization engines accountable with data rather than trust.
