Position summary role is responsible for the day-to-day operational health, risk posture, readiness, reliability, and continuous improvement of the facility. You will oversee the operation and maintenance of all critical and non-critical infrastructure systems to ensure 100% uptime, customer confidence, regulatory compliance, and safe execution of all facility work.
