o Ensure consistent and reliable performance of electrical systems across North American facilities,

aligning with organizational reliability targets.

o Support the regional Management of Change (MOC) process by providing reliability reviews and

approvals for new or modified electrical designs and maintenance care plans.

o Lead and facilitate Root Cause Analysis (RCA) investigations for significant electrical system failures,

ensuring corrective actions are identified, implemented, and tracked.

o Proactively address emerging reliability challenges for electrical systems through the "Bad Actor"

process, developing and executing resolution plans.

o Oversee and report on Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) classification of losses related to

electrical systems.

o Develop and deliver technical training programs to enhance the expertise of regional reliability,

maintenance, and operations teams.

o Share best practices across North American facilities with other manufacturing sites.

o Drive reliability initiatives to improve the performance of electrical systems, identifying and

implementing strategies to minimize downtime and optimize functionality.

o Manage the development and compliance of electrical system care plans, ensuring adherence to

the Inspection, Testing, and Preventive Maintenance (ITPM) program requirements.
