Manager, Field Operations

About the role

You are the operational spine of Exowatt's first large-scale module deployment, translating our P3 technology promise into on-the-ground reality. In this manager-level position, you own the complete lifecycle of our anchor customer deployment from the first pre-contract site visit through final commissioning and early post-sale support. You orchestrate scope, schedule, and deliverables so that modular solar, storage, and on-demand electricity arrive on time and function as specified. You serve as the single point of accountability when deployed modules require product or field service intervention, ensuring issues are resolved swiftly and transparently. You build reusable playbooks, checklists, and communication templates that will become the standard foundation for every future deployment as we scale to multiple sites. You operate at the critical intersection of customer expectations, engineering requirements, supply chain constraints, and field execution teams. You translate contractual obligations into a credible field execution plan and then rally internal stakeholders to deliver against it. You communicate with clarity and confidence to customers, representing Exowatt as the trusted operator of our energy infrastructure.
