How to apply for Asset Manager - Battery Storage

About Plus Power

Plus Power is an energy storage market leader with a 10+ GW portfolio across more than 25 states. The company originates, develops, finances, owns, and operates standalone battery storage projects that provide services to wholesale electric markets. It focuses on solving hard climate problems profitably and values radical transparency, ownership of mistakes, and internal partnering.

About the role

The Asset Manager oversees the day-to-day operations of battery storage assets. This role is critical because Plus Power owns and operates its projects, so performance directly affects revenue and grid reliability. The Asset Manager ensures that assets meet contractual, regulatory, and market obligations while optimizing performance.

A typical day

A typical day might involve reviewing asset performance data, coordinating with operators to address issues, and communicating with internal teams about market or regulatory changes. You might also prepare reports for investors or utilities and work on long-term performance improvement plans. The exact routine depends on the portfolio and current projects, so ask about team structure and daily workflows during the interview.

Who Plus Power is looking for

• Experience in energy storage, renewable energy, or power plant operations, with a focus on asset management or operations and maintenance.
• Familiarity with wholesale electricity markets, including ancillary services and capacity markets, and how battery storage participates in them.
• Strong data analysis skills to monitor performance, identify issues, and drive improvements using a data-driven approach.
• Ability to manage multiple stakeholders, including operators, utilities, investors, and internal teams, and to communicate clearly in a remote work environment.

Tips for this application

• Highlight any direct experience with battery storage or similar technologies, including specific projects and their capacity or market roles.
• Use examples that show you can own and learn from mistakes, as Plus Power explicitly values radical transparency.
• Demonstrate familiarity with the North American electric grid and wholesale markets, especially regions where Plus Power has projects.
• Emphasize your ability to work remotely and collaborate with cross-functional teams, since the role is remote and the company values internal partnering.
• Quantify achievements in asset management, such as improvements in availability, revenue, or compliance metrics.

What to cover in your cover letter

['Your hands-on experience managing battery storage or renewable energy assets, including specific technologies and market services.', 'How you use data to drive operational decisions and improve asset performance.', 'Your ability to work independently in a remote setting while coordinating with multiple teams and external partners.', "Your alignment with Plus Power's culture of high expectations, transparency, and learning from mistakes."]

Research before applying

• Plus Power's project portfolio, including locations, sizes, and the markets they serve.
• The specific wholesale electricity markets where Plus Power operates, such as ERCOT, CAISO, or PJM, and how battery storage participates in each.
• Recent news or press releases about Plus Power's projects, financing, or partnerships.
• The company's stated values and how they might translate into day-to-day work and team interactions.

Likely interview topics

Based on the job description, expect questions about:

• How you have managed battery storage assets in wholesale markets, including bidding, dispatch, and performance optimization.
• A time you identified and resolved an operational issue, and what you learned from it.
• Your approach to working with third-party operators, utilities, and investors to ensure contractual compliance.
• How you stay current with market rules and regulatory changes affecting energy storage.
• Your experience with data analysis tools and how you use them to monitor asset health and financial performance.

Common mistakes to avoid

• Focusing only on development or construction experience without showing operational asset management skills.
• Ignoring the remote nature of the role and not demonstrating ability to work independently.
• Using generic language about clean energy without connecting it to specific battery storage operations and market services.
