• Provide technical input for risk management, EHS, business continuity, and compliance activities
• Collaborate with Digital/Business Technology teams on facility-related automation and systems support

• Experience reading, interpreting, and reviewing electrical drawings, plans, and specifications; effectively communicate technical requirements to contractors and engineering vendors; and identify when modifications or design changes may be required to support safe, reliable, and compliant operations
• Knowledge and understanding of electrical and facility safety practices, including hazard recognition, lockout/tagout (LOTO) concepts, contractor safety oversight, and the ability to promote safe, reliable, and compliant facility operations
• Demonstrated skills in project coordination, planning, and stakeholder management
• Effective teamwork and collaboration with cross-functional teams, vendors, and contractors to deliver critical customer service
• Experience with BMS/automation platforms (e.g., Honeywell)
