Opportunity Adapture Renewables, Inc. is on a mission to be a leader in this new era of sustainable energy. Drawing upon an extensive knowledge base, we develop, finance, engineer, build, own, and operate high quality utility-scale photovoltaic projects and battery energy storage projects.

Our Operations and Maintenance (O&M) team is looking for an experienced Director of O&M Services to lead and elevate the technical, financial, and operational management of our growing operating fleet. Adapture Renewables is owned by KIRKBI Climate – the private holding and investment company of the Kirk Kristiansen family founded to build a sustainable future for the LEGO® brand through generations. Overview This position leads the O&M Services function within our Asset Management team, which is responsible for the technical and financial management of a growing portfolio (currently approximately 650 MW) of utility-scale solar and battery energy storage projects located across the United States.

This is an opportunity to continue to build on ARI’s O&M function by modernizing how the fleet is operated through data, automation, and disciplined financial management as the portfolio scales. The Director of O&M Services owns the strategy, operating budget, and vendor relationships that keep the fleet safe, available, and performing, partnering closely with the O&M Performance & Optimization, Asset Management, Engineering/EPC, and Project Finance teams. This is a leadership role that sets direction and holds execution accountability rather than performing day-to-day field tasks.

This position reports to the VP of Asset Management and manages a small team (1–2 direct reports), including the O&M Manager.

Responsibilities

Strategy & fleet performance: Own the strategy and roadmap for the O&M Services function across the operating fleet. Define availability, performance, safety, and cost targets and the plan to achieve them. Budget & P&L ownership: Build, own, and manage the annual O&M operating budgets and the O&M P&L.

Lead a monthly budget-vs-actual cadence with rigorous variance analysis, root-causing, and reforecasting; benchmark cost-per-MW and cost-per-MWh across the fleet; and tie O&M spend to production and revenue. Report financial and operational performance to Asset Management leadership and ownership. Data- & AI-enabled operations: Advance condition-based and predictive maintenance across the fleet by using fleet monitoring and operational data.

Leverage analytics and AI tools to automate performance reporting, accelerate root-cause analysis, streamline contract and warranty review, and document recurring fixes and operating procedures. Vendor & contract leadership: Lead the negotiation, structuring, and management of O&M service contracts, warranty agreements, and parts/service procurement. Hold third-party providers accountable through data-driven performance scorecards and KPI-based service levels, and use performance data to inform make-vs-buy and self-perform decisions as the fleet grows.

Systems & process architecture: Own the work-management and CMMS strategy for the function, consolidating monitoring tools into a single, reliable source of plant data. Standardize O&M processes so the function scales efficiently with a growing portfolio. Team leadership: Lead and develop the O&M Services team (1–2 direct reports), including the O&M Manager.

Set clear success criteria, give the team autonomy to operate, and build hiring and capability for a growing fleet. Set the standard for fleet monitoring, troubleshooting, and work-order management; ensure issues are correctly identified, prioritized, and tracked to resolution with documented fiscal impact. Direct spare-parts inventory strategy and supply-chain readiness across the fleet, addressing deficiencies before they affect availability.

Build reliability-engineering practices, including fleet-wide failure-mode trending and root-cause analysis.
