• Lead root‑cause analyses and reliability improvements to reduce downtime
• Manage site inventory, tools, spare parts, and consumables
• Track KPIs, prepare daily/weekly/monthly performance reports, and manage the site operating budget
• Act as the primary on‑site representative with landowners, regulators, utilities, and community stakeholders
• Represent the company at industry events, trade groups, and community forums

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering (ABET‑accredited) with 5+ years of industry experience OR technical diploma/high school diploma with 10+ years in energy, power generation, or renewables
