Electrical, Controls & Operability Monitoring Technical Leader

Job Description Summary

The Technical Lead for Electrical, Controls & Operability (EC&O) Fleet Monitoring sets the technical vision and monitoring strategy for a growing fleet monitoring team, and leads execution of that strategy in close partnership with analytics and engineering teams across the organization. This role is accountable for defining how the fleet is monitored across electrical, controls, and operability domains - including building the monitoring infrastructure, tools, and processes that enable early detection of emerging issues and drive measurable improvements in fleet performance and reliability. The Technical Lead provides senior technical leadership across the full monitoring lifecycle, from issue investigation through analytic development, deployment, and daily fleet monitoring. This role requires deep technical expertise spanning electrical systems, turbine controls, and system-level operability, strong analytical judgment, and the ability to translate complex fleet data into a scalable, prioritized monitoring strategy.
