• Train and support field personnel and subcontractors on equipment operation, troubleshooting, and maintenance best practices.
• Travel extensively to project sites to support scheduled and emergency maintenance, including storm damage and system outages.
• Identify and recommend process improvements to increase system reliability, efficiency, and overall plant performance.
