Position Summary The Performance Engineering Analyst supports the operational and financial performance ofElevate’sBESS and BESS + Solar portfolio. This role transformsSCADA, operational, and commercial data into actionable insights; identifies and quantifies performance losses; and works withCommercialAsset Management,Technical Asset Management, Engineering, O&M providers, and equipment suppliers to improve asset availability, energy production, reliability, and revenue. The analyst will own recurring performance analysis andtechnicalreporting while supporting more complex testing, degradation, warranty, and controlsprograms. Key Responsibilities Performance Monitoring and Analysis Monitor portfolio performance using SCADA, DAS, BMS, EMS, telemetry,firesystemand analytics platforms; review asset health, alarms, availability, and operating trends. Compare actual performance with budgets, forecasts, weather-adjusted expectations, engineering models, and contractual performance requirements. Calculate and interpret solar KPIs including performance ratio, availability, capacity factor, irradiance variance, degradation, and forecast-to-actual production. Analyze BESS KPIs including system and PCS availability, dispatch adherence, round-trip efficiency, auxiliary consumption, usable capacity, throughput, cycling, state of charge, and state ofhealth.IssueInvestigation and Resolution Investigate routine and moderately complex underperformance, distinguishing equipment failures from weather, curtailment, soiling, clipping, derates, control events, and data-quality issues. Quantify lost energy, unavailable capacity, and associated revenue exposure; prioritize findings based on operational andfinancial impact. Prepare concise issue summaries andrecommendednext steps for Asset Management, Operations, Engineering, O&M providers, OEMs, and other stakeholders. Track corrective actions through resolution,validateperformance recovery, and document recurring or systemic issues across the fleet. Reporting Data and Continuous Improvement Prepareaccuratemonthly, quarterly, annual, and ad hoc performance reporting, including variance commentary and management-ready summaries. Clean,validate, and structure operational datasets for dashboards, automated reporting, performance calculations,complianceobligationsand portfolio benchmarking. Support project onboarding and the transition from construction to operations byvalidatingmonitoring configurations, equipment hierarchies, expected-performance models, and available technical documentation.
