Leyder Manuel Ordaz

I am an industrial engineering and energy operations professional with experience leading BESS, utility-scale solar, and wind projects across North America, Latin America, and Europe. I manage the full lifecycle of energy assets, from EPC execution and commissioning through operations, maintenance, quality, safety, and commercial performance. I have led O&M for more than 45 BESS and solar projects, improving lithium-ion battery performance and achieving system availability above 98%. My work includes developing O&M teams and processes, managing multimillion-dollar budgets, negotiating contracts, designing acceptance documentation, and supporting compliance with NFPA 855, ISO 9001, grid codes, and safety requirements. My background also includes wind turbine installation, maintenance, commissioning, turbine-failure root cause analysis, SCADA diagnostics, and corrective-action frameworks that reduced MTTR by more than 30%. I bring a practical, fast-track approach to project delivery while maintaining rigorous standards for safety, quality, schedule, and financial discipline. I am especially effective at optimizing workflows, resolving operational bottlenecks, coordinating cross-functional teams, and translating technical requirements into measurable business results.
