- Lead technical and operational site audits across active and pre-activation sites; produce operational health assessments with prioritized findings and own the remediation roadmap through closure with site leadership.
- Own electrical operational readiness for new sites coming online — assess team capability, validate procedures, and personally sign off on operational handover from commissioning to steady-state operations.
