Role: [Position hired for, e.g., VP of Solar/BESS O&M]
Oscar Energy partnered with a leading renewable energy company to assist them in finding a senior leadership hire for their Solar and Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) operations. The role required a candidate who could balance both in-office responsibilities and regular travel to project sites outside of New York City, which presented some specific challenges in the hiring process.
Key Pain Points
