• Overseeing implementation of AVEVA PI components, including data ingestion, interfaces, asset frameworks, and reporting tools
• Ensuring system integrations with enterprise platforms (e.g., ERP, maintenance systems, analytics platforms)

• Direct experience implementing AVEVA PI (OSIsoft PI) or similar platforms
• Strong understanding of data integration, system interfaces, and enterprise reporting solutions
• Previous hands-on technical background
• Proven ability to drive delivery outcomes, not just maintain documentation or schedules

Key Skills & Competencies

• Exceptional communication skills - able to translate between technical teams, engineers, and business stakeholders
• Strong facilitation and technical workshop leadership abilities
• Advanced PowerPoint and executive presentation skills
• Expertise in project planning, scheduling, and dependency management
• Confident, proactive leader who can push delivery forward and remove roadblocks
• This is a hybrid role requiring the contractor to be on site at least 2 days per week at the Hydro One office in Toronto, ON, with flexibility to travel to Barrie and Orillia as needed.
