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 analyst in this position 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 role requires close collaboration with various teams and stakeholders to ensure accurate financial management and reporting. The second role supports a fleet of 15 Solar and Wind sites that are operated and maintained by a third party, along with three self-perform solar sites in Central Texas. Similar to the first role, this analyst will also develop, implement, and maintain O&M and Capital accounting, budgeting, and reporting processes for these facilities. The position requires a strong understanding of financial principles and the ability to work with multiple types of contracts, including Long Term Service Agreements and Power Purchase Agreements. Both positions will involve responsibilities such as capital and O&M budget creation, monthly and year-end reforecasting, preparation of monthly accruals, and acting as a liaison between Operations and various finance and accounting teams. The analysts will also support large-scale projects affecting the fleet and participate in the Budget Operations Review Board, representing Renewable Operations. The role requires a proactive approach to identifying opportunities for continuous improvement and sharing best practices across the organization.
