As 5C builds its Facility Engineering function, this role establishes the programs, standards, and operating rhythm that turn engineering activity into a disciplined, measurable system.

- Oversee incident management and technical escalations by directing root cause analyses (RCAs), risk review and acceptance processes, and the implementation and closure of corrective actions.
- Coordinate engineering portfolio performance by overseeing projects, studies, and corrective initiatives; producing executive reports on reliability and risk; and promoting the sharing of lessons learned among operations, development, and leadership teams.
What You Bring.
- Bachelor's degree in Electrical, Mechanical, or a related engineering discipline.
- 8+ years in critical facilities, with demonstrated program ownership (reliability, incident governance, or change control).
- Proven success building KPIs, risk registers, RCA/corrective-action programs, and engineering change control.
- Strong data orientation - able to turn CMMS, alarm, and EPMS data into prioritized action.
- Excellent written communication and executive-ready reporting; strong cross-functional stakeholder management.
- Strong project / program management skills - planning, scheduling, tracking, and driving cross-functional work to completion.
