- Track service levels and field performance data to identify reliability gaps, maintenance risks, and opportunities to improve site performance.
- Implement process improvements that increase preventive-maintenance completion, technician productivity, service reliability, and the experience of on-site partners.
- Maintain relationships with site partners, gather feedback, and resolve issues affecting daily site operations.
What You'll Bring
- 2+ years of experience in field operations, service, maintenance, logistics, or a related technical environment.
- Experience leading or managing teams, including coaching, feedback, and performance management.
- Technical or mechanical aptitude to understand and support field-based systems, equipment, inspections, and maintenance work.
