The role
Reporting directly to the Renewable Asset Management Director, the Renewable Operations Manager will take on a strategic and newly created role within the context of the company's strong international expansion. The selected candidate will act as the "analytical brain" of the global operation, supporting growth from the current 1 GW portfolio to the projected 2–3 GW in the coming years. Their main mission will not be purely operational shift management, but rather the structuring, analysis, and advanced interpretation of the large volumes of data generated by the international Control Centers. This is a cross-functional position that combines Operational Analytics, process standardization (Site Management), and the preparation of high-level management reporting to support strategic decision-making.
What you'll do
- Operational Analytics & Performance: Analyze and audit operational information generated by the facilities (solar photovoltaic and wind). Identify failure patterns, recurring incidents, availability trends, and optimization opportunities through the analysis of SCADA systems and technical KPIs.
- Reporting & Management Synthesis: Translate complex operational data into executive business information. Design, prepare, and present performance reports to Management, providing a global, clear, and structured view of what is happening across assets in different geographies.
- Standardization & Global Harmonization: Define, implement, and standardize common operational procedures across different technologies and countries, ensuring that Control Centers operate cohesively under the highest regulatory standards of each System Operator.
- Scalability & Strategic Vision: Help define the future organizational and technological model for the area. Anticipate which processes should be automated, which tools should be incorporated, and how to size technical resources to support the increase in asset volume.
Requirements:
- Minimum Experience: 3–8 years of professional career (high-potential profiles will be considered). Experience in Remote Operations, Asset Operations, Control Center, or Operations Engineering, with a clear progression toward performance analysis and reporting functions (Control Room Analytics).
- Knowledge & Sector Context: Mandatory experience in the operation or monitoring of renewable energy assets (Wind and Solar PV). Solid technical command of SCADA systems and operational KPIs (availability, curtailments, performance, response times).
- Languages: Fluent English (minimum C1 level), required for coordination with international teams and management of technical documentation.
- Academic Background: Bachelor's or Master's degree in Engineering (Industrial, Electrical, Energy, or related disciplines).
- Skills & Other Requirements: Exceptional analytical and synthesis skills. Methodical, structured profile with business acumen and strong communication skills. Availability for regular international travel (approximately every two months).

La persona seleccionada actuará como el "cerebro analítico" de la operación global, acompañando el crecimiento del portfolio desde el actual 1 GW hasta los 2-3 GW proyectados en los próximos años. Su misión principal no será la gestión puramente operacional del turno de operadores, sino la estructuración, análisis e interpretación avanzada de los grandes volúmenes de datos generados por los Centros de Control internacionales. Se trata de una posición transversal que combina Operational Analytics, estandarización de procesos (Site Management) y elaboración de reporting directivo de alto nivel para facilitar la toma de decisiones estratégicas.
What you'll do

Identificar patrones de averías, incidencias recurrentes, tendencias de disponibilidad y oportunidades de optimización a través del análisis de sistemas SCADA y KPIs técnicos.
- Reporting y Síntesis Directiva: Traducir datos operativos complejos en información de negocio ejecutiva. Diseñar, elaborar y presentar informes de rendimiento (performance) a la Dirección, ofreciendo una visión global, clara y estructurada de lo que ocurre en los activos en las distintas geografías.
- Estandarización y Armonización Global: Definir, implantar y estandarizar procedimientos operativos comunes entre las distintas tecnologías y países, asegurando que los Centros de Control operan de manera cohesionada bajo los más altos estándares regulatorios de cada Operador del Sistema.
- Escalabilidad y Visión Estratégica: Ayudar a definir el modelo organizativo y tecnológico futuro del área. Anticipar qué procesos deben automatizarse, qué herramientas incorporar y cómo dimensionar los recursos técnicos frente al incremento del volumen de activos.
Requirements:
- Experiencia Mínima: A partir de 3-8 años de trayectoria profesional (se considerarán perfiles High Potential). Experiencia procedente de Operación Remota, Asset Operations, Centro de Control o Ingeniería de Operaciones, habiendo evolucionado claramente hacia funciones de análisis de rendimiento operativo y reporting (Control Room Analytics).
- Conocimientos y Contexto Sectorial: Experiencia obligatoria en operación o monitorización de activos de energías renovables (Eólica y Solar Fotovoltaica). Sólido dominio técnico en la interpretación de sistemas SCADA y KPIs operativos (disponibilidad, curtailments, performance, tiempos de respuesta).
- Idiomas: Dominio fluido del inglés (mínimo nivel C1), necesario para la coordinación con equipos internacionales y la gestión de documentación técnica.
- Formación Académica: Licenciatura o Grado Universitario en Ingeniería (Industrial, Eléctrica, Energética o disciplinas afines).
- Competencias y Otros: Excepcional capacidad analítica y de síntesis. Perfil metódico, estructurado, con visión de negocio y alta capacidad de comunicación. Disponibilidad para viajar internacionalmente con frecuencia periódica (aprox. bimensual).
