About the Role

As an O&M Manager , you'll lead Elum's newly established maintenance team, taking full ownership of post-commissioning activities for clients under SLA agreements. Your focus will be on French HTA/HTB and Spanish NTS utility-scale projects (1–50 MW), ensuring corrective, evolutive, and preventive maintenance is delivered with excellence. You'll also play a key role in building the team's processes from the ground up — this is a builder's role as much as a manager's role.

Responsibilities

Troubleshooting & Technical Delivery

• Lead troubleshooting of Elum's solution for the utility-scale market
• Master hardware configuration (network, I/O interfaces, power meters, inverters)
• Maintain and update AutoCAD drawings to track as-built evolutions
• Oversee plant network architecture for speed and high availability (Ethernet, fiber optic, IP, VLAN, VPN)
• Interpret and work with technical deliverables: functional analyses, electrical diagrams, I/O lists, network architecture diagrams, exchange table mappings
• Configure and troubleshoot Elum's SCADA HMI and PPC control system
• Manage subcontractor activities and ensure technical alignment with clients

Key Account Management

• Build and maintain strong relationships with key clients to ensure satisfaction
• Identify when maintenance requests fall outside SLA scope and flag additional costs accordingly
• Provide estimations for corrective, evolutive, and preventive maintenance interventions
• Maintain an internal knowledge base on clients and recurring issues, leveraging AI tools to build statistics and improve the business model over time
• Support post-commissioning project closure punch-lists for smooth handover to maintenance phase
• Provide regular client updates on ongoing maintenance requests and gather feedback

Performance & Process

• Track and report KPIs: response times, status report time, restore time, resolution time, and client satisfaction
• Ensure accurate documentation of all maintenance data and reports
• Develop and optimize maintenance processes for efficient service delivery
• Lead a continuous improvement plan to keep the team ahead of new challenges and technologies
• Report regularly to senior management on team performance and areas for improvement

Qualifications

• Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Renewable Energy, or a related field
• 3–5 years of experience as a Project Engineer or Technical Manager in SCADA and control systems within the PV industry

Required Skills

• In-depth knowledge of SCADA architectures and their application in solar power plants
• Knowledge of ATVISE and/or N3uron is a strong plus
• Familiarity with communication protocols: Modbus, IEC 104, OPC UA, IEC 61850, OCPP
• IT network architecture fluency: VPNs, VLANs, redundancy, OSI/TCP-IP
• Experience with BESS, hybrid, or off-grid control systems is a plus
• Onsite experience appreciated
• Bonus: Python, C++, Matlab, energy modeling tools (DIgSILENT, PSS/E, PSCAD)
• Full fluency in English and French, Spanish is a serious plus

How You Show Up

• You take ownership and drive decisions without waiting for direction
• You build relationships with clients and keep them confident even when things get complex
• You're data-driven, you measure what matters and use it to improve
• You collaborate across remote, cross-functional teams without losing momentum

• A truly international environment, teams across 4 continents
• Attractive career path for driven, talented profiles
• Regular team seminars at our HQ in the heart of Paris
• A culture that genuinely values work-life balance and individual growth
