Qcells North America · Irvine, CA · 2 wk ago
On-siteFinanceFull-time
Key Responsibilities
- Manage and collaborate closely on all data-related priorities for the solar fleet portfolio.
- Lead project management for data integrity from asset sellers, including detailed review, validation, and reconciliation of handover data packages (e.g., as-built drawings, equipment specs, solar project design configurations, meter calibrations, performance test results, and contractual guarantees).
- Drive clean onboarding of solar projects into the fleet/asset management platform by identifying, documenting, and resolving discrepancies between seller-provided data and actual installed/operational conditions.
- Manage production validation testing and post-commissioning data checks to confirm accurate energy output, availability, performance ratios, and other key metrics align with expectations and seller representations.
- Investigate and resolve operational asset data issues arising in the fleet, including inconsistencies in product data, O&M records, monitoring feeds, irradiance corrections, and other datasets impacting fleet performance and reporting.
- Partner with O&M teams and internal fleet stakeholders to enforce data standards, resolve upstream issues, and prevent recurrence.
- Develop and implement robust data quality controls, validation rules, reconciliation workflows, and audit processes to ensure ongoing integrity of fleet-wide solar asset data.
- Perform in-depth root-cause analysis on data anomalies (getting "into the weeds" with raw logs, configuration files, and time-series data) and drive corrective actions with sellers or internal teams as needed.
- Prepare status reports, dashboards, issue trackers, and executive summaries on data integrity progress, onboarding status, and fleet data health for the Fleet Asset Manager and senior leadership.
- Contribute to the continuous improvement of data handover processes from sellers to enhance future fleet onboarding efficiency and reduce risk.

- 5+ years of hands-on experience in the solar industry, with direct involvement in solar project development, construction handover, operations, asset transitions, or fleet/asset management.
- Strong expertise in solar asset data, including performance metrics, equipment specifications (modules, inverters, trackers), Monitoring systems, and production validation processes.
- Proven project management experience leading data validation, onboarding, or integrity initiatives, ideally in contexts involving seller-to-operator transitions.
- Exceptional ability to dive deep into technical details — reviewing raw datasets, meter logs, test reports, and configurations to troubleshoot and resolve issues.
- Strong analytical, problem-solving, and attention-to-detail skills with a track record of identifying and fixing complex data discrepancies.
- Travel may be required up to 10%, depending on business needs.
- Excellent communication and collaboration abilities to interface effectively with asset sellers, internal fleet teams, and stakeholders.
