Key Responsibilities

Power Operations & Reliability 

• Lead and develop a team of power-generation subject matter experts, providing technical mentorship, performance coaching, and support across regions.
• Own the global maintenance and reliability program for backup generators and all associated reciprocating-engine systems, including diesel, natural gas, dual-fuel, and other engine-driven emergency power equipment.
• Establish and track fleet health metrics, reliability trends, failure modes, maintenance performance, and lifecycle risks; translate findings into prioritized improvement actions.
• Develop and maintain maintenance scopes of work, operating procedures, technical standards, inspection plans, and service-provider requirements for generators and supporting equipment.
• Provide deep technical oversight for reciprocating engines and generator systems, including prime movers, alternators, controls, starting systems, fuel systems, lubrication, cooling, air intake, turbocharging, exhaust, emissions equipment, and switchgear interfaces.
• Lead complex root-cause investigations following generator failures, near misses, or adverse reliability trends; implement fleet-wide containment, corrective, and preventive actions.
• Partner with original equipment manufacturers, vendors, and service providers to resolve systemic equipment issues, secure warranty or remediation commitments, and verify completion of corrective actions.
• Collaborate with data center operations, critical facilities engineering, lifecycle management, construction, and procurement teams to improve backup-power design, operability, maintainability, and long-term reliability.
• Deliver technical training for critical-facility engineers on operating, maintaining, testing, troubleshooting, and safely responding to issues involving emergency power systems.
• Drive continuous-improvement initiatives that reduce operating costs, improve maintenance effectiveness, and increase generator availability and design reliability.
• Ensure maintenance and operating programs meet applicable safety, environmental, regulatory, emissions, and business-continuity requirements.

 

Minimum Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related technical discipline; or 10+ years of directly relevant, progressively responsible experience in reciprocating-engine power generation, critical facilities, industrial power, or a comparable high-availability environment.
• Extensive experience managing or supporting reciprocating-engine-driven backup power systems in data centers, critical facilities, industrial plants, healthcare, utilities, or similarly high-availability environments.
• Deep technical expertise with emergency generators and reciprocating engines, including diesel, natural-gas, and dual-fuel applications.
• Strong working knowledge of engines, alternators, controls, fuel delivery, cooling, lubrication, intake and exhaust systems, turbochargers, batteries, starting systems, and generator paralleling or transfer interfaces.
• Demonstrated experience leading failure investigations, reliability engineering efforts, corrective-action programs, and vendor escalations.
• Proven people-leadership capability, including mentoring and developing technical experts across geographically distributed teams.
• Strong analytical skills, with experience using maintenance and failure data to identify trends, develop metrics, and drive reliability improvements.
• Experience creating technical standards, maintenance procedures, scopes of work, and training programs.
• Excellent communication and stakeholder-management skills, including the ability to influence manufacturers, service providers, engineers, and senior operational leaders.

 

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience supporting global data center operations and critical-facility infrastructure.
• Familiarity with CMMS platforms, reliability-centered maintenance, FMEA/failure-mode analysis, and root-cause methodologies.
• Professional certifications in reliability, power generation, critical facilities, or project management.
