Company mission

To create a future where power outages and electrical grid hazards (think wildfire ignition) are a thing of the past.

Role

Who you are

  • 5-10 years of experience in real-time operations, data analytics, or grid management activities
  • Demonstrated abilities in coaching teams, developing operational strategies, and optimizing workflows
  • Technical proficiency in data analysis tools and platforms (e.g., Python, SQL)
  • Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Data Science, Computer Science, or a related field
  • Strong fundamentals in grid operations, data analysis, and event management
  • The ability to work and stay calm under pressure

Desirable

  • The ideal candidate will have experience in machine learning applications for grid analytics, familiarity with SCADA systems, and a background in the energy or utilities sector
  • Knowledge of predictive maintenance tools and real-time event processing technologies will also be advantageous
  • If you do not have all of the bonus skills, we encourage you to apply. We are looking for leaders who are passionate about operational excellence and innovation

What the job involves

  • The Real Time Operations (RTO) team is responsible for 24/7 monitoring of electric grid events based on data sent from our Gridscope devices
  • These data analytics efforts support real-time and high-quality reporting of emergent issues
  • The Manager - Real Time Operations & Analytics is responsible for overseeing the monitoring and analysis of real-time data to ensure the reliable and efficient operation of the electrical grid
  • This role involves managing a team of analysts, optimizing operational workflows, and developing data-driven strategies to enhance grid performance
  • Lead, mentor, and develop a team of real-time monitoring analyst leads
  • Ensure the team is equipped with the necessary tools and knowledge to perform their roles effectively
  • Foster a positive and collaborative team environment
  • Establish performance metrics and monitor team performance to ensure high standards of service delivery
  • Oversee the 24/7 monitoring of events and anomalies, ensuring rapid identification and response to critical issues
  • Manage and resolve operational incidents in real-time, ensuring minimal disruption to operations
  • Maintain detailed incident logs and develop post-incident analysis and action plans
  • Lead the team in analyzing real-time data to identify patterns, predict potential failures, and provide actionable insights for grid optimization
  • Collaborate with data science and engineering teams to refine analytics models and improve predictive capabilities
  • Develop and implement protocols and procedures to streamline event management and reporting, enhancing operational efficiency and accuracy
  • Lead continuous improvement initiatives and projects to enhance operational performance. Identify opportunities for process improvements and implement solutions to enhance data accuracy, reduce response times, and optimize operational workflows
  • Work closely with engineering, product, and customer support teams to ensure alignment on operational goals and improvements
  • Partner with external stakeholders, including utility companies, to address grid performance issues and implement best practices
  • On-call availability for urgent issues as scheduled

Our take

Utilities struggle with old infrastructure, which can cause long outages and increase wildfire risks. Current methods to address these issues are slow and costly, making it hard for utilities to keep up with necessary upgrades and risk management.

To tackle these problems, Gridware has created an affordable, easy-to-install technology that works with existing utility systems. It provides real-time data on infrastructure and wildfire risks, helping utilities reduce outages and spot potential wildfire threats easily.

Since launching, Gridware has expanded to five states and collected over one million hours of data. To support this growth, the company recently closed a successful funding round. With this financial support, Gridware is ready to help more widely improve utility reliability and wildfire prevention.
