Job Description

Are you passionate about the decarbonization of the electric grid? Are you interested in learning about how distributed energy resources play a critical role in the grid of the future? The Dispatch Operations team at Voltus is looking for an Associate who is passionate about delivering MWs to the grid during dispatch events. These events are called when the grid needs Voltus to take action, and the Dispatch Operations team quickly activates our portfolio of MWs in various programs across North America. In this role, you will become knowledgeable about grid operators and utilities in North America, you will interact regularly with large industrial and commercial energy users, and you will build a foundation of operations experience across diverse systems and processes. This rapidly expanding landscape requires constant scrutinization of our processes, systems, and tools to efficiently deliver on dispatches.

We are a 24/7 team, and we are looking for Associates in Asia, Australia, Europe, Africa, and Pacific Islands because time zones in these regions provide strategic coverage during the North America "evening". The role is shift-based and your availability and reliability are a critical element to the success of the role; however, this role is remote, which means: no commute!

  • Create and deliver seasonal communications to customers
  • Schedule and conduct dispatch verification tests, which can include seasonal portfolio testing for market compliance
  • Ensure the collection of settlement data for customers
  • Ensure our customer contact information and curtailment plans are up to date
  • Take ownership of reporting tools and ad hoc analysis projects, supported by a fluency in at least one of Google Sheets, Python, and SQL
  • Monitor market participation and take necessary actions to ensure Voltus market compliance
  • Become an expert in dispatching and help lead a continuous training program
