You will coordinate closely with Asset Management and cross-functional teams to identify performance risks, develop predictive methods to mitigate equipment and system failures, and create a vision for comprehensive generation analytics. This role also involves guiding data strategy, supporting asset management and reliability engineering initiatives, and mentoring others while fostering a collaborative and innovative environment.
WHAT YOU'LL DO- Lead the development, implementation, and operation of analytics to monitor generation performance, including statistical and machine learning models for anomaly detection, time series analysis, failure prediction, survival analysis, event detection, and asset/system degradation modeling.
- Develop analytics using asset management and formal reliability engineering to support safety, compliance, reliability, performance, affordability, and resilience goals for the generating fleet, including prioritization and impact measurement of maintenance and capital improvements.
- Collaborate with Technology (IT/OT) teams to design and implement data pipelines and architectures for large-scale data acquisition, storage, and processing from multiple sources (e.g., PI, Canary, WorkMan, GADS, GPIF, PGS Gas Data, Gridmax).
- Develop and maintain fleet-level analytics and dashboards (e.g., Power BI) to compare performance and review operations across generating assets, coordinating with the Data Analytics Platform for data integration.
- Support performance reporting, including Net Generation Reporting, outage reporting, and planning, through advanced analytics and data-driven insights.
- Guide and oversee data strategy and analytics platform access, enabling engineering teams to leverage agentic and semantic AI tools for improved performance, reliability, maintenance planning, and long-term capital planning.
- Mentor and support team members, fostering a collaborative, innovative, and technically rigorous environment.
- Coordinate with internal stakeholders (Asset Management, Generating Assets, Regulatory, OPMECC, IT) and external partners (consultants, contractors, industry associations, vendors) to ensure effective project execution and technology planning.
- Design and lead model validation frameworks to ensure robust, interpretable, and auditable analytics outputs for operational decision-making.
- May indirectly supervise project and system governance teams as needed.
WHAT YOU BRING- Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Data Science, Applied Mathematics, or Statistics (required); advanced degree (Master's or PhD) in data science, statistics, engineering, or information systems preferred.
- 7+ years of progressive experience in data science, analytics, or machine learning engineering, with at least 2 years in the utility, energy, or related sector.
- Expertise in advanced analytics, statistics, and machine learning (e.g., anomaly detection, time series analysis, failure mode prediction, survival analysis, causal inference, statistical process control).
- Experience with asset management, reliability engineering, and performance analytics for generating assets or similar environments.
- Proficiency in programming and development tools such as Python, SQL, JavaScript, HTML/CSS, APIs, CLI, and automation.
- Strong knowledge of data engineering (ETL/ELT, data modeling, large dataset processing, API and enterprise system integration, SQL Server, Snowflake, Azure, and cloud data platforms).
- Experience with analytics and machine learning techniques, including computer vision, object detection, image segmentation, and time-series analysis.
- Expertise in visualization and geospatial tools (Power BI, DAX, Power Query, Power Automate, Esri GIS, geospatial analysis, interactive mapping, drone/aerial imagery analytics, executive dashboards, and real-time operational visualization).
- Ability to develop and validate statistical and machine learning models for operational decision-making, including digital twins and grid simulations.
- Excellent communication skills, with the ability to explain technical findings to non-technical stakeholders and collaborate across operations, engineering, and regulatory teams.
- Experience mentoring others and fostering a collaborative, innovative environment.
- Preferred certifications: Certified Analytics Professional, Python for Data Science, reliability-related certifications.
