Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS: Lead maintenance, load-balancing, and lifecycle management for multi-module double-conversion static or rotary UPS systems, static transfer switches (STS), power distribution units (PDUs), and energy storage solutions (VRLA, Lithium-ion, battery strings).

Emergency Generation & Fuel Systems: Direct operational readiness, monthly no-load testing, scheduled dynamic/load-bank testing, and preventative maintenance on multi-megawatt standby generator systems, emergency fuel storage/filtration polishing systems, and automated paralleling switchgear.

Power Quality & Monitoring: Continuously monitor power quality, harmonics, power factor, and transient disturbances utilizing the Electrical Power Monitoring System (EPMS) and SCADA platforms.

2. Operational Procedures & Risk Mitigation (MOP / SOP / EOP)

Procedure Authoring & Review: Author, review, and strictly enforce detailed Methods of Procedure (MOPs), Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), and Emergency Operating Procedures (EOPs) for all planned maintenance, testing, switching operations, and contingency drills.

Switching Operations: Oversee MV and LV complex switching sequences, bypass operations, and utility-to-generator transfer scenarios to prevent unintended power interruptions.

Root Cause Analysis (RCA): Lead post-event investigations and technical root cause analyses for any power anomalies, outages, or near-misses, driving corrective and preventive actions (CAPA) to completion.

3. Electrical Safety & Regulatory Compliance

Safety Leadership: Champion the site Electrical Safety Program in full compliance with NFPA 70E, OSHA 1910 Subpart S, and NFPA 70 (NEC).
