• Oversee daily operational tasks and resolve issues, including outages, troubleshooting, corrective maintenance, and major repairs, while serving as a technical resource for operational and performance concerns.
• Monitor contractor and plant performance through KPIs such as availability, responsiveness, maintenance quality, downtime and lost energy, using proactive monitoring, performance analysis and root cause analysis to identify improvement opportunities.
• Improve asset reliability by reducing recurring failures, tracking corrective actions, applying lessons learned across the portfolio and supporting reliability and performance-optimization initiatives.
• Build productive relationships with site teams, contractors, vendors and internal stakeholders; mentor on-site personnel and act as the primary liaison to ensure clear ownership, accountability and timely escalation of material issues.
