Job summary

Responsibilities

• Lead multi-site Critical Environments operations, ensuring rigorous execution across electrical and mechanical infrastructure (power distribution, UPS, generators, switchgear, cooling plants, pumps/CRAHs/CRACs, controls/BMS, containment/airflow).
• Set the operational cadence (site health reviews, PM/CM execution, MOP/SOP/EOP readiness, risk registers, KPI reviews) to prevent downtime and reduce operational risk.
• Direct response to CE events and escalations—coordinating rapid triage, clear communications, safe restoration, and post-incident follow-through.
• Drive disciplined RCA/CAPA, ensuring corrective actions are prioritized, tracked, verified, and embedded into standard work.
• Standardize processes, documentation, and knowledge management so shifts and sites operate consistently to world-class CE standards.
• Partner with Engineering and Projects to support new builds and expansions, ensuring CE design intent is operationalized (commissioning readiness, handoff criteria, spares strategy, training, and runbook completeness).
• Identify opportunities for automation and monitoring improvements (alarms, trending, predictive maintenance signals) to improve time-to-detect and prevent repeat events.
