• Prepare and challenge operating budgets, OPEX forecasts, variance analysis and commercial cash-flow inputs; validate contractor charges and major expenditure against contracts, budgets and delegated authorities.
• Support Finance and Structured Finance with SPV reporting, covenant monitoring, insurance matters and financing or due-diligence requirements.
• Monitor operational performance through SCADA, reporting, inspections and technical input, including availability, generation against budget, performance ratio, degradation, outages, losses and corrective actions.
• Maintain asset records, obligations registers, risk and action trackers, compliance evidence and audit-ready documentation covering planning, permits, land, grid, environmental, HSE, security, insurance and relevant Ofgem requirements.
• Deliver monthly dashboards and quarterly asset reviews, coordinate key stakeholders and support the operational readiness, onboarding and handover of newly commissioned, acquired or transferred solar PV and future BESS assets.
