• Proficient in MS Office products and comfortable learning new technologies

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience in power generation, manufacturing, chemical processing, mining, data centers, healthcare or similar high-hazard industries
• Familiarity with inspection, testing and maintenance (ITM) programs, predictive maintenance technologies (e.g., infrared thermography, vibration analysis, oil analysis) or asset integrity management concepts
