What this role is

Executive leader overseeing all control room, remote monitoring, and field coordination operations across energy and mining sites. At the Senior Director (Executive) (E2) level, the role owns multiple functions or a major area, multi-function strategy and risk, and drives major-area outcomes. Leads function leaders.

What this level does

Lead multiple operations functions or divisions through VPs — combining control operations with asset performance, maintenance coordination and dispatch scheduling under a single accountable executive
Make cross-functional decisions with company-viability consequences, such as fleet-wide standardization of SCADA/DCS platforms and outage-management protocols across geographically dispersed generation and storage sites
Negotiate critical grid and market matters with transmission system operators, ISOs and balancing authorities where curtailment, interconnection or compliance exposure affects material revenue
Own the operating strategy that maximizes fleet output while minimizing downtime across a significant business unit, setting the performance metrics control room directors are held to
Direct enterprise-wide emergency and NERC-compliance governance, ensuring consistent standard emergency response roles across all controlled facilities

Knowledge applied: Applies cross-functional knowledge spanning control operations, maintenance coordination and dispatch, standardizing platforms and protocols across multiple sites.
Complexity & problem solving: Solves abstract, high-consequence issues where decisions may impact company viability, such as fleet-wide SCADA standardization or curtailment exposure across ISOs.
Collaboration & interaction: Negotiates critical grid and market matters with top ISO/TSO and balancing-authority leaders; leads multiple functions or divisions through VPs.
Typical experience: 15+ years with strategic leadership of operations functions or significant generation-and-storage business units.

Skills at this level

SCADA and control systems proficiency: — Command of supervisory control software (SCADA) and distributed control systems (DCS) for real-time monitoring, operation and control of PV, BESS and hybrid facility equipment and outage management.
NERC and ISO regulatory compliance: — Ensures fleet operations conform to applicable local, state and federal regulations including NERC standards and ISO/ERCOT rules, governing outage reporting, switching coordination and market participation.
Grid and market operations: — Operates, monitors and dispatches distributed energy resources in accordance with market rules (e.g., ERCOT DRUC and market awards) to ensure continuous operation and revenue protection.
Outage coordination and revenue mitigation: — Identifies and resolves real-time and forced outages by coordinating with transmission system operators, scheduling coordinators and balancing authorities while mitigating lost revenue.
Emergency response leadership: — Directs readiness and execution of emergency shutdown, blow-down, fire and gas detection systems and standard emergency response roles across controlled facilities.
Fleet performance optimization: — Monitors plant performance metrics and sets strategies to maximize fleet output while minimizing downtime across day-to-day operations.
Operational P&L and cost control: — Owns P&L and cost control across multiple generation-and-storage locations, driving procurement, contracting and process optimization decisions.
Capital and operating recommendations: — Evaluates and recommends system improvements spanning capital and operating investments, cost control and process optimization for control-room infrastructure.
External regulatory and industry representation: — Represents the enterprise to regulators, ISOs, balancing authorities and industry bodies on grid reliability, market design and interconnection strategy.
High-pressure decision-making: — Applies strong analytical judgment to make quick, sound decisions during equipment or control problems and operational emergencies in the control room.

Pay across the ladder

Control Operations — median with , by . Real canon data.

National-base pricing — this family's function differential is pending review, so dollar levels are not function-adjusted (level-over-level % is unaffected).

Pay figures are modeled estimates from our market equation — level-differentiated, with honest-wide bands. They refresh as new leveling evidence lands; treat per-role dollars as directional.

Demand — is the field growing, or just turning over?

The Job Swatch

SVP, Control Operations

Control Operations

The swatch is JobFrame's core primitive: a hueset deterministically by the role's superfunction, the profileKey as its color code, the level ladder, and a content fingerprint. Two swatches that look alike are alike.

Because every role carries computable coordinates, similarity, leveling, and pricing become measurable instead of arguable— the whole point of "Pantone for jobs."

Structural

structural@1

Where it sits— position in the work taxonomy + level (weighted Gower, level > function > focus).

Universal level: 2 / 8

Content

content@2

What it's about— a fingerprint over the role's tasks & capabilities.

Two roles can sit far apart structurally yet be close in content — that gap is itself a signal.

3-state matching

How any two swatches compare — a real distance in coordinate space, resolved to a calibrated verdict (never a fake "94% match").

How to read this profile

Every number here is traceable — to a named source, a stated method, and an as-of date — and each value is labeled by how we know it: observed from data, computed by a model, projected forward, or governed canon. Nothing is a black box, and nothing is invented to fill a gap.

The principles behind the numbers

Ranges, not false precision

Pay is P10 · median · P90, never a single misleading number.

Three honest states, never a fake %

Role matches resolve to confident / review / no-match — a calibrated verdict, not a made-up percentage.

Provenance on every value

Each number carries whether it's observed, computed, projected, or canon — so you always know how much to lean on it.

Gaps shown as gaps

When a figure isn't available at the grain you need, we say so — we don't fabricate a number to fill the cell.

Frozen, versioned editions

Pay and coordinate editions are pinned, so a comparison you make today still means the same thing next quarter.

Privacy by min-N

Any aggregate over people is suppressed below a minimum count, so no individual is identifiable.
