The Budget Analyst position at Southern Power involves two distinct roles, each supporting different renewable energy operations. 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 15 Solar & Wind sites operated and maintained by a third party, along with three self-perform solar sites in Central Texas. 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. The reporting line for this position is to a Renewable Region Manager. Both positions require a strong understanding of budgeting and accounting principles, as well as the ability to liaise effectively between various teams, including Operations, Finance, and Accounting. The Budget Analyst will play a crucial role in capital and O&M budget creation, monthly and year-end reforecasting, and variance explanations to management. Additionally, the analyst will be involved in invoice coding and reconciliation, supporting large-scale projects, and identifying opportunities for continuous improvement within the budgeting processes. The role may also require occasional travel, although it is not frequent, and can be based at any SPC facility with potential for hybrid work.
