Asset Health, Risk & Reliability

Develop and maintain asset health, criticality, risk, and performance models for distribution assets.
Analyze inspection, maintenance, condition assessment, outage, and failure data to identify emerging risks and performance trends.
Support reliability investigations, asset failure reviews, and root cause analyses, ensuring lessons learned are incorporated into asset strategies and investment recommendations.
Monitor key performance indicators and asset health metrics to support risk-informed decision making.
Assist in identifying opportunities to improve reliability, reduce risk, and optimize lifecycle costs.
Capital Planning, Regulatory Support
Provide risk-based analysis and recommendations to support project justification, and prioritization of distribution asset investments.
Support the Distribution Capital team by ensuring proposed capital investments are aligned with asset health, feeder risk profiles, and enterprise risk management objectives.
Support the preparation of regulatory filings, investment justifications, and business case materials by providing asset risk, condition, and lifecycle management inputs.

Industry Engagement & Innovation
