• Use tools like WREGIS and AVEVA PI to complete tasks the way you would in your day-to-day role
• Deliver expert-level work that forms the foundation of AI training datasets for energy industry applications
• Complete tasks at your own pace with no set schedule or minimum hour requirement

Qualifications

• 2+ years of professional experience in renewable energy generation, forecasting, or environmental markets, in a role such as:
  • Renewable Generation Performance Analyst
  • Renewable Asset Forecasting Analyst
  • REC / Environmental Markets Analyst
• Ability to independently produce work using:
  • WREGIS
  • AVEVA PI
• Hands-on experience with workflows such as renewable generation forecasting and performance reporting, and REC verification and retirement
• Bachelor's degree or higher required
• Strong written communication skills, attention to detail, and the ability to work independently in a remote, asynchronous environment
