• Respond swiftly to Building Management System (BMS) alarms and manage incidents in real time.
• Maintain mechanical and electrical systems (including cooling, power, and water) to industry standards such as L8.
• Supervise vendors and subcontractors to ensure high performance and adherence to operational processes.
• Drive technical training, mentoring, and team development.
• Lead from the front — ensuring the safety, reliability, and resilience of critical infrastructure always.
