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 and 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.
Ability to work on-site at one of the listed locations and travel at least 50%, with additional travel as business needs require.

Nice To Haves

Develop and maintain maintenance scopes of work, operating procedures, technical standards, inspection plans, and service-provider requirements for generators and supporting equipment.
Provide 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 root-cause investigations following generator failures, near misses, or adverse reliability trends, and implement fleet-wide containment, corrective, and preventive actions.
Partner with 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 emergency-power-system issues.
Drive continuous-improvement initiatives to 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.
