• Develop analytics using asset management and formal reliability engineering to support safety, compliance, reliability, performance, affordability, and resilience goals for the generating fleet, including prioritization and impact measurement of maintenance and capital improvements.
• Collaborate with Technology (IT/OT) teams to design and implement data pipelines and architectures for large-scale data acquisition, storage, and processing from multiple sources (e.g., PI, Canary, WorkMan, GADS, GPIF, PGS Gas Data, Gridmax).
• Develop and maintain fleet-level analytics and dashboards (e.g., Power BI) to compare performance and review operations across generating assets, coordinating with the Data Analytics Platform for data integration.
• Support performance reporting, including Net Generation Reporting, outage reporting, and planning, through advanced analytics and data-driven insights.
• Guide and oversee data strategy and analytics platform access, enabling engineering teams to leverage agentic and semantic AI tools for improved performance, reliability, maintenance planning, and long-term capital planning.
• Mentor and support team members, fostering a collaborative, innovative, and technically rigorous environment.
• Coordinate with internal stakeholders (Asset Management, Generating Assets, Regulatory, OPMECC, IT) and external partners (consultants, contractors, industry associations, vendors) to ensure effective project execution and technology planning.
• Design and lead model validation frameworks to ensure robust, interpretable, and auditable analytics outputs for operational decision-making.
• May indirectly supervise project and system governance teams as needed.
