Solar Operations Engineers oversee a pipeline of projects with the mandate of proactively hunting for any issues or complexity that might result in project delays before they happen and relentlessly digging into complexity once it presents itself to reach resolution and get the project moving again. As opposed to traditional project management positions in solar, the emphasis here is on a proactive approach to the potential and actual problem jobs rather than working on all of the jobs in the pipeline and dealing with issues reactively after the fact.
