• Conduct root cause analysis of equipment failures and system disruptions, lead post‑mortem reviews to identify lessons learned, and implement preventive measures and actionable solutions to enhance system reliability and prevent recurrence.
• Use monitoring systems and data analysis to identify performance issues and prevent equipment failures.
• Collaborate across departments—including design, construction, operations, and utility partners—to ensure optimal system performance and seamless upgrades.
• Monitor and optimize power quality, voltage regulation, and frequency response to meet utility grid codes and performance requirements.
