Leads availability modeling, reliability analysis, and mitigation planning for our behind‑the‑meter (BTM) power solutions and site‑specific conditions. This role partners with engineering, construction, commissioning, and operations to identify risks early, define mitigations, and ensure designs and operating models meet target availability and resiliency.

Own availability and reliability analysis for BTM power solutions across a variety of technologies such as gas reciprocating engines, turbines, fuel cells, batteries, and site deployments (fault trees, reliability block diagrams, MonteCarlo or scenario modeling as appropriate).

Define availability targets and performance assumptions; align with customer requirements and Fleet’s uptime objectives.

Identify single points of failure and operational risks; Partner with engineering teams to validate redundancy strategies, maintainability, and test/maintenance windows that preserve service availability.

Support commissioning readiness by defining test scenarios and success criteria that validate reliability assumptions.

Develop Quality Control KPI definitions and reporting for reliability performance (forced outage rate, MTTR, maintenance compliance) and drive continuous improvement.

Run Reliasoft or IEEE Goldbook calculations to demonstrate facility uptime based on selection of generation and distribution equipment.

Collaborate with vendors and operations teams on maintenance strategies, spares/critical parts planning, and reliability‑centered maintenance principles.

Bachelor’s degree in Engineering (Electrical, Mechanical, Industrial, or similar).

7+ years in reliability engineering, availability analysis, quality processes and/or asset performance engineering in mission‑critical or industrial environments.

Extensive hands‑on experience leading availability and reliability analysis for multi‑technology BTM power systems (e.g., gas engines, turbines, fuel cells, batteries).

Proficiency with reliability modeling methods and tools (fault trees, reliability block diagrams, MonteCarlo or similar, Reliasoft/IEEE Goldbook) to set and validate availability targets.

Demonstrated ability to identify single points of failure and operational risks and implement design, controls, procedural, or spares mitigations that measurably improve uptime.

Experience defining and reporting reliability and quality control KPIs (e.g., forced outage rate, MTTR, maintenance compliance) and driving continuous improvement initiatives.

Track record leading root cause analysis and corrective actions for reliability‑impacting events and collaborating with operations and vendors on maintenance strategies and reliability‑centered maintenance.

Experience with generation assets and integration into critical electrical systems.

Experience with CMMS data, failure coding, and maintenance program optimization.

Experience with ISO and Quality metrics for generation assets.

Experience communicating technical risk to executives and customers.

Emotional Intelligence (EQ): Ability to understand the emotions, cultural nuances, and motivations of others, while effectively managing one's own emotions during high‑pressure negotiations.

Critical Thinking Skills: Finding innovative solutions and being flexible in addressing unexpected challenges.

Make data‑driven decisions, assess cost structures, and identify potential risks, ensuring informed and strategic outcomes.

Anticipate risks, identify vulnerabilities, and proactively implement mechanisms to prevent and minimize disruptions and safeguard safety, security, availability, and scale.

Cultivate trust, collaboration, and long‑term partnerships, while building a broad network that provides valuable benchmarking, industry insights, and alternative sourcing options.

Location and Travel

Work location is flexible to Seattle, WA, Denver, CO, or Alexandria, VA. Hybrid: 3‑days in office.

Regular travel, as needed, to offices as well as to meet with Vendors.
