5. Preventive Maintenance & System Health

* Assist in preventive maintenance scheduling and perform routine checks to reduce the frequency of offline points or controller failures.

* Proactively identify potential issues before they escalate into alarms or critical failures by analyzing trends and system behavior.

* Work closely with the network and controls team to ensure that controllers and sensors are properly calibrated and functioning.

6. Compliance & Critical Environment Management
