🏢 About Sungrow

Sungrow is a global leader in solar inverters and energy storage systems, with a mission to provide clean, abundant energy from residential rooftops to utility-scale plants.

About This Role

As the Remote O&M Manager for Europe, you will be the central hub for monitoring and optimizing the performance of PV and energy storage assets across the continent. Your data-driven decisions and remote troubleshooting will directly impact fleet availability, customer satisfaction, and the overall success of Sungrow's European operations.

💡 A Day in the Life

Your day might start by reviewing overnight alarms and performance dashboards for assets across Europe, then prioritizing issues with field teams. You could lead a remote troubleshooting call with a customer in Spain, analyze data trends in Excel, and end the day by updating a knowledge base or preparing a performance report for a key account.

  • Proficient in using SCADA systems and remote monitoring platforms to analyze performance data, identify anomalies, and coordinate responses.

📝 Tips for Applying to Sungrow

1

Tailor your resume to highlight specific experience with SCADA, remote monitoring, and PV/ESS troubleshooting – use metrics like availability rates or response times.

3

Showcase any experience with data analysis tools (e.g., Excel, Python, or specialized O&M software) and how you used them to improve fleet performance.

4

Because the role is remote, emphasize your ability to work independently and manage time zones, perhaps with examples of coordinating international teams.

5

Research Sungrow's product portfolio (e.g., SG series inverters, energy storage systems) and mention specific products in your application to show genuine interest.
