• Establish and standardize ROI performance metrics, dashboards, and leading indicators aligned to fleet objectives

• Provide functional leadership and execution direction to site-based reliability engineers and cross-functional teams

• Apply Lean principles and continuous improvement methodologies to eliminate waste, improve process efficiency, and enhance maintenance effectiveness

• Support and reinforce Continuous Site Presence (CSP) through consistent application of best practices across locations

• Partner with operations and maintenance leadership to build a culture of accountability, discipline, and continuous improvement

• Demonstrate client's value as a strategic partner by delivering measurable performance, efficiency, and financial outcomes

• Lean Green Belt (or higher) or equivalent structured continuous improvement experience

• Experience supporting multi-site or fleet-level performance improvement initiatives

**Leadership Profile**

**Success Measures**
