O&M Manager – Utility Scale PV & SCADA Systems

Elum Energy is hiring!

About

Elum Energy is a fast-growing company based in Paris with offices in Morocco, South Africa, UAE, India, Singapore, Mexico & Brazil specialized in monitoring & control solutions for solar power plants. Elum technology allows for simple and optimized operations of rooftop solar plants or utility scale ground PV plants coupled or not with energy storage systems (batteries) and in some cases with existing thermal generation units (diesel generators).

Our reference customers are constructors (EPCs) and operators (IPPs) of solar power plants and/or energy producers such as TOTAL, ENGIE, GreenYellow, SolarCentury...

Our technology currently equips more than 1000 solar power plants in more than 40 countries, from 100kWp to 100MWp.

Those plants directly power factories & shopping centers for example, are built to feed into the national grid (Europe), or are built to power remote / islanded cities (Caribbean, South Asia or in some African countries).

Our technology, ePowerControl allows to supervise and automatically control these solar hybrid power plants in an efficient way, and its declination in different by-products allows to manage both "simple" type hybrid power plants in self-consumption and more complex power plants of several MWp in grid injection.

We are looking for talented, passionate and creative profiles - sharing our passion for renewable energies - to help us build tomorrow's electricity grid!

Job Description

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.

What you'll own

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

Preferred Experience

  • 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

  • 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

  • You raise the bar for the people around you
