• Working knowledge of applicable OSHA regulations and NFPA codes and standards, with the ability to interpret requirements, understand their application to facility operations, and identify appropriate sources for reference when needed
• Experience reading, interpreting, and reviewing electrical drawings, plans, and specifications; effectively communicate technical requirements to contractors and engineering vendors; and identify when modifications or design changes may be required to support safe, reliable, and compliant operations
• Knowledge and understanding of electrical and facility safety practices, including hazard recognition, lockout/tagout (LOTO) concepts, contractor safety oversight, and the ability to promote safe, reliable, and compliant facility operations
• Demonstrated skills in project coordination, planning, and stakeholder management
• Effective teamwork and collaboration with cross-functional teams, vendors, and contractors to deliver critical customer service
• Experience with BMS/automation platforms (e.g., Honeywell)
