Job Description Summary

The Technical Lead for Electrical, Controls & Operability (EC&O) Fleet Monitoring sets the technical vision and monitoring strategy for a growing fleet monitoring team, and leads execution of that strategy in close partnership with analytics and engineering teams across the organization. This role is accountable for defining how the fleet is monitored across electrical, controls, and operability domains — including building the monitoring infrastructure, tools, and processes that enable early detection of emerging issues and drive measurable improvements in fleet performance and reliability. The Technical Lead provides senior technical leadership across the full monitoring lifecycle, from issue investigation through analytic development, deployment, and daily fleet monitoring. This role requires deep technical expertise spanning electrical systems, turbine controls, and system-level operability, strong analytical judgment, and the ability to translate complex fleet data into a scalable, prioritized monitoring strategy.

Job Description

Role Scope

• Sets the overall monitoring vision and technical strategy for a fleet monitoring team spanning electrical systems and turbine controls/operability
• Leads design and continuous improvement of monitoring infrastructure, tools, and processes used for daily fleet monitoring
• Provides senior technical leadership across the full monitoring lifecycle — from issue investigation and requirements definition through analytic deployment and ongoing fleet monitoring
• Partners closely with analytics teams and cross-functional engineering groups to advance monitoring capabilities and resolve fleet-wide issues
• Works alongside the team lead on prioritization, technical direction, and capability build-out, without formal people-management responsibility
• Mentors monitoring engineers on diagnostic methods, monitoring strategy, and technical best practices
• This is a senior, individual-contributor technical leadership role

Roles and Responsibilities

• Define and continuously evolve the technical vision and monitoring strategy across electrical, controls, and operability domains
• Lead the design and ongoing improvement of monitoring infrastructure, dashboards, and analytical workflows
• Provide senior technical leadership on complex, cross-domain fleet issues spanning electrical and controls/operability systems
• Guide the development of monitoring requirements, diagnostic logic, and performance criteria for new and existing analytics
• Partner with analytics and engineering teams to ensure monitoring solutions are technically sound, scalable, and effectively deployed
• Oversee execution of intervention strategies to ensure timely, effective response to identified fleet issues
• Serve as a key technical voice representing the monitoring function in cross-team and cross-functional discussions
• Mentor and develop team members' technical capabilities across electrical, controls, and operability disciplines
• Drive continuous improvement in monitoring methods, detection logic, and team processes to increase the speed and business value of monitoring outputs

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Controls Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related technical field , with a minimum of 10 years of professional experience
• Significant experience in wind turbine systems, with demonstrated expertise spanning at least two of the following: electrical systems, turbine controls, or system-level operability
• Proven experience developing or leading fleet monitoring strategies, diagnostic methodologies, or condition-based monitoring programs
• Strong working knowledge of SCADA data, turbine alarms/events, and operational data analysis techniques
• Demonstrated ability to translate complex technical data into clear, prioritized, and actionable monitoring strategies
• Experience partnering cross-functionally with data/analytics teams, engineering teams, and field/service organizations
• Strong technical communication skills, with the ability to clearly convey findings and recommendations to both technical and non-technical stakeholders
• Demonstrated ability to mentor and develop less experienced engineers

Desired Characteristics

• Direct experience with wind turbine electrical systems (generator, converter, pitch system, cables) and turbine controls/operability
• Experience building or scaling a fleet monitoring function or team from an early stage
• Familiarity with analytics development lifecycles, including requirements
