Act as the ultimate operational authority and escalation point for complex electrical faults, critical failures, and advanced switchgear/protection relay issues.
Scope, prioritize, and drive multi-million dollar electrical upgrades, remediation, or retrofit projects across the global fleet, taking ownership from concept to field operationalization.
Lead specialized electrical remediation and continuous improvement programs to eradicate bottlenecks, ensuring field telemetry, maintenance pain points, and post-mortem learnings inform upstream iterations.
Provide critical electrical engineering judgment to proxy executive leadership in technical disputes regarding operational feasibility, redundancy, protection schemes, and risk acceptance.
Foster seamless integration between local SMEs, (regional plant engineers, construction/deployment engineering, and system/design engineering) to drive design for operations principles.
