This role is set up as a long-term engagement with full benefits through Kelly, plus a pathway to be brought on permanently. You'll be leading day-to-day operations at a utility-scale solar site, owning both the people side and the technical / operational side of a live site.

Position Overview

The Field Service Site Supervisor / Manager is responsible for all on-site operations, maintenance, safety, reporting, and customer interface at the Beeville / Mineral, TX utility-scale solar facility.

You'll guide the site team through commissioning, startup, operations, and ongoing maintenance — and you'll be the on-site owner of execution quality, safety culture, schedule, and communication.

In this role, you will be handling administrative (planning, reporting, documentation, work assignment, compliance) and field-based leadership (hands-on oversight of site activities, safety walks, maintenance coordination, contractor direction).

You will :

  • Lead daily site operations, job assignments, and maintenance activities.
  • Drive safety and compliance standards.
  • Keep performance and availability on track to meet contract requirements.
  • Represent the site in daily updates with internal leadership and the customer.

    • You'll report to regional Projects & Services leadership and will be accountable for delivering on the contract from mobilization through closeout — including reporting, invoicing / receivables tracking, change order and claim support, parts coordination, and issue resolution.

    Key Responsibilities

    Safety / Compliance / Culture

  • Own site safety performance, including Lockout / Tagout (LOTO), near-miss reporting, incident documentation, PPE enforcement, and daily safety briefs.
  • Lead and document daily safety / tailboard meetings.
  • Review Job Hazard Analyses (JHAs) with the crew and proactively identify / mitigate risk.
  • Ensure all required safety and LOTO documents are completed accurately, stored correctly, and available for audit.

    • Daily Site Leadership & Scheduling

  • Ensure the crew reports on time, understands the Plan of the Day (POD), and is properly set up to execute work safely and efficiently.
  • Assign work to technicians and confirm coverage for critical tasks (inverters, balance-of-plant, substation inspections, vegetation / roads, etc.).
  • Run or participate in required site calls / meetings :
  • Morning O&M / site kickoff call
  • Daily customer touchpoint / status review
  • Internal coordination with site lead tech / resource & fleet manager for priorities, punch list items, and escalations.
  • Maintain a visible leadership presence in the field and set expectations for accountability, housekeeping, and professionalism.

    • Work Execution / O&M

  • Oversee testing, troubleshooting, maintenance, and performance / availability work in line with contractual requirements.
  • Support planning and scheduling of preventive and corrective maintenance on :
  • Inverters (annual / semiannual PMs)
  • Balance-of-Plant (BOP)
  • Trackers / DC field equipment (per OEM checklist)
  • Weather / meteorological stations (bi-weekly inspection)
  • Roads and vegetation (monthly inspection)
  • Substation walkdowns and required inspections
  • Vehicle inspections (monthly)
  • Annual tasks such as transformer oil testing (DGA sampling) and IV curve tracing on a sample of strings.
  • Make sure technicians are closing service tickets / work orders promptly (same day or next day) and that maintenance / inspection reports are completed and sent to leadership.

    • Documentation / Reporting / Commercial Support

  • Manage the administrative side of the contract : daily / weekly reporting, work completion logs, site activity summaries, tracking of punch list items, and status of any open issues.
  • Ensure required documentation (LOTO logs, maintenance records, inspection reports, outage reports, etc.) is accurate and submitted to leadership.
  • Support invoicing / receivables, change order and claim discussions, and resolution of commercial / technical issues.
  • Communicate project and site status (goals, risks, resource needs, opportunities) to internal stakeholders and the customer.

    • Customer / Stakeholder Interface

  • Act as primary on-site point of contact for operations coordination, including control center / remote operations center (ROC) style interfaces for alarms, dispatch requests, and escalations.
  • Maintain strong working relationships with the customer to ensure contractual obligations are met and expectations are managed.
  • Provide clear, consistent progress updates and set realistic timelines for punch list closure.

    • Parts, Inventory, and Logistics

  • Oversee site inventory of spare parts, tooling, and safety equipment; ensure calibration / condition of test equipment.
  • Coordinate ordering, shipping of failed components offsite, and receipt of replacements; maintain chain-of-custody records.
  • Track both company-owned materials and customer-owned balance-of-plant spares.

    • Contractors / New Techs

  • Coordinate third-party contractors brought onsite : onboarding / orientation, scope review, safety expectations, and documentation.
  • Support OJT (on-the-job training) for new hires and techs so they understand site procedures, safety standards, and quality expectations.

    • Performance / Uptime / Quality

  • Drive toward 99%+ contractual operational compliance and availability targets.
  • Monitor recurring issues, escalate as needed, and push for root-cause correction instead of repeat band-aid fixes.
  • Keep the punch list small and actively work it down with the fleet / resource manager.

    • Leadership Mindset

  • Lead by example : calm under pressure, direct but respectful communication, and a strong "we execute" mindset (not just "we hold meetings").
  • Build a culture of safety, ownership, and follow-through.

    • Qualifications

    PLEASE NOTE : You must live or be able to relocate within an hour of Beeville / Mineral, TX. There is no assistance or lodging provided.

  • Proven leadership experience in field service, site supervision, or operations management (utility-scale solar, wind, battery storage, or other power generation strongly preferred).
  • Strong understanding of safety programs and regulatory compliance, including LOTO, JHA, and OSHA.
  • Experience coordinating maintenance plans, directing technicians, and working with subcontractors in a high-visibility environment.
  • Comfortable balancing administrative requirements (reporting, documentation, commercial tracking) with hands-on field leadership.
  • Clear, direct communicator who can manage expectations with both internal leadership and the customer.
  • Ability to read and interpret maintenance documentation, inspection checklists, and site procedures (including inverter PMs, BOP inspections, substation walkdowns, and tracker system upkeep).

    • Additional Context

    This site is an established utility-scale solar operation. You'll be stepping into a role where process is in place, but performance, uptime, and customer confidence still depend heavily on the strength of the on-site leader. You'll have real influence over day-to-day execution, near-term availability, and long-term reliability / stability of the asset.

    PLEASE NOTE : This position does not include relocation assistance, lodging support, or a per diem.
