We are looking for an Electrical Root Cause Analysis (RCA) Lead Engineer to own the investigation and resolution process for our critical power generation assets.

Team Coordination: Define the necessary resources and expertise for RCA task forces; proactively manage and escalate resource requirements to ensure team success.
Performance Metrics & Reliability: Monitor and report on key RCA performance indicators (KPIs). Partner with service teams to analyze failure data and lead strategic initiatives to reduce failure rates in major components (e.g., generators, transformers, power converters).
Supplier Engagement: Partner with Sourcing to lead commercial and technical discussions with vendors.
Financial & Administrative Stewardship: Manage RCA-related budgets, including cost-benefit analysis and the procurement workflow (PO generation and approval) required to execute resolution plans.
Communication & Stakeholder Management: Serve as the technical authority for RCA-related communications, delivering clear, consistent, and concise updates to internal leadership and external customers throughout the project lifecycle.
