The Budget Analyst position at Southern Power involves two distinct roles, each supporting different renewable energy fleets. The first role focuses on the self-perform Wind fleet, which encompasses ten sites. The selected candidate will be responsible for developing, implementing, and maintaining both Operations & Maintenance (O&M) and Capital accounting, budgeting, and reporting processes for the current year and long-range budgets for these facilities. This position will report directly to the Wind Fleet General Manager. The second role supports a fleet of 15 Solar & Wind sites that are operated and maintained by a third party, along with three Central Texas self-perform solar sites. Similar to the first role, this position will also develop, implement, and maintain O&M and Capital accounting, budgeting, and reporting processes for the current year and long-range budgets for these facilities. This position will report directly to a Renewable Region Manager. In both roles, the Budget Analyst will be tasked with capital and O&M budget creation, ownership, and reporting responsibility for multiple facilities. Responsibilities include monthly and year-end reforecasting, actuals review, and variance explanations to functional and executive management. The analyst will prepare monthly accruals for submission to accounting and act as a liaison between Operations and various finance and accounting teams. The role requires understanding and working with multiple types of contracts, invoice coding and reconciliation, and supporting large-scale projects affecting the fleet. The analyst will also participate in the Budget Operations Review Board and support other budget analysts as needed. The position allows for hybrid work and requires some overnight travel, though it is not frequent.
