Meet Renee Rose, the person who makes a complex site feel coordinated and connected. She manages the logistics that keep Western Spirit Wind on track and invests in the local youth and families who make this place home. For Renee, meaningful work and family life share the same map.
Keeping Western Spirit moving
At Western Spirit Wind, Renee Rose keeps a lot of moving parts in sync. As Senior Site Logistics Coordinator, she handles purchase orders and inventory, pitches in with field teams when the need arises, and builds relationships with neighbors across the Western Spirit footprint. She makes the moving parts work together, and every day brings something new. “It’s never boring; I don’t ever have the same day twice.”
On any given week, that can mean tracking orders in the morning, coordinating deliveries by afternoon, and checking in with crews or neighbors in real time – whatever helps the site keep its rhythm. Her favorite part of the job is the community work she gets to do alongside the operations team, whether it is sponsoring local events, supporting youth programs, organizing scholarships for students, or finding small ways to be a helping hand.
Family first, rooted in community
Renee grew up in Central Texas and moved to New Mexico in 2019 to be closer to family and has fallen in love with the small-town rhythm and tight knit community of Corona. “You know what’s happening before it even happens,” she says. The move to New Mexico put work and family on the same map, close enough that the day-to-day of site life and home life can support each other.
According to Renee, Pattern’s values are real in practice. “Pattern really means it when they say ‘family first.’” She believes the culture shows up in the moments that matter, when life requires time or help and the team rallies so people can care for their families.
Where work meets community
That commitment comes to life every fair season. As a parent of two active 4-H and FFA competitors, Cooper and Cayson, Renee has a front-row seat to the time, dedication and hard work it takes to raise and show animals. She also sees how much community support matters. Pattern recently sponsored the livestock pavilion at the New Mexico State Fair and invested about $25,000 at a junior livestock auction, purchasing animals from roughly 20 youth, with additional support from partners so more exhibitors could benefit. Western Spirit’s team has also helped purchase animals at county fairs in Lincoln, Torrance, and Guadalupe, spreading the impact across New Mexico. “As a parent, it’s really nice to have that support from my company,” Renee says. “And everyone at the fair notices and appreciates it.”
Moments like these – shaking hands at the sale backdrop, cheering from the bleachers – are where the job’s purpose shows up in real time for her family and for the community.
At home, with SunZia on the horizon
Outside of work, much of Renee’s year revolves around her kids’ success and development in local agriculture and livestock – six to nine months of feeding, exercising, and traveling with the animals, plus 4-H district activities in the summer. When she is home, she tends a garden. She and her family have also had a front-row seat watching a different kind of project take shape on the horizon. “We’ve watched SunZia go up right outside our front window—towers stacking, blades hanging, even helicopters bringing in materials. It’s been really cool to see.”
It is a fitting view: family, community, and energy work all unfolding in the same landscape. Renee’s story is part of what makes Western Spirit more than a work site. It is a place where logistics and community meet, where a colleague might also be the neighbor cheering on your kids in the show ring, and where investment in local youth and agriculture is simply part of how the team shows up.
