What is critical infrastructure?

Critical infrastructure refers to the essential systems, assets, and networks that are vital to a country's security, economy, public health, and safety. These include sectors like energy, water, transportation, communications, and financial services. Disruption or damage to critical infrastructure can have severe consequences for society and the functioning of government and businesses. Protecting and securing these systems is a top priority for national security and resilience.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in critical infrastructure management?

To excel in critical infrastructure management, a solid background in engineering, risk assessment, and regulatory compliance is generally required, often supported by relevant degrees or certifications. Familiarity with SCADA systems, cybersecurity protocols, and industry-specific safety standards is essential. Strong problem-solving abilities, communication, and leadership are vital soft skills for effective coordination and crisis response. These competencies are crucial to ensure the security, reliability, and resilience of essential services that society depends on.

What are some common challenges faced by professionals working in critical infrastructure roles?

Professionals in critical infrastructure roles often encounter challenges such as maintaining system reliability under tight security protocols, responding to evolving cyber threats, and coordinating with multiple stakeholders across public and private sectors. They must frequently adapt to new regulatory requirements and rapidly changing technologies while ensuring uninterrupted service delivery. Effective communication and collaboration with emergency response teams, IT specialists, and government agencies are essential for addressing incidents and implementing preventive measures.

What is the difference between Critical Infrastructure vs Utility Worker?

Critical Infrastructure encompasses a broad range of essential systems vital to national security and public safety, including transportation, energy, and communication networks. Utility Workers focus specifically on maintaining and operating utility services like electricity, water, and gas. While both roles are crucial for societal functioning and often overlap in work environments, Critical Infrastructure roles tend to have broader scope and security requirements compared to Utility Workers, who primarily handle operational tasks within utility services.

Lead Process Auditor, Critical Infrastructure

Aligneddc

Phoenix, AZ • On-site

Full-time

Re-posted 13 days ago

Job description

It's fun to work in a company where people truly BELIEVE in what they're doing!
We're committed to bringing passion and customer focus to the business.

Role Summary: The Lead Process Auditor is responsible for the procedural integrity and operational compliance of Aligned's critical infrastructure fleet. While Technical SMEs govern the physical and systemic health of the infrastructure, the Process Auditor governs the human and procedural systems. This role ensures that fleet-wide Standard Operating Procedures, Methods of Procedure, and Emergency Operating Procedures are strictly adhered to, standardized across all sites, and immediately updated based on empirical data from Incident RCAs. The Lead Process Auditor acts as the administrative enforcement arm of the department, identifying procedural drift before it results in human-error-induced outages.

Core Responsibilities:

  • Procedural Incident Forensics (RCA Governance): During high-severity incidents, lead the investigation into the procedural vectors of the failure. Analyze MOP execution, Change Management approvals, vendor oversight, and preventative maintenance logs to determine if human error, skipped steps, or flawed runbooks contributed to the technical failure.
  • Proactive Runbook & MOP Auditing: Execute programmatic, unannounced, and scheduled audits of site-level procedural compliance. Verify that Facility Managers and site technicians are strictly following Aligned's authorized MOPs for high-risk evolutions.
  • Mandate Enforcement & Lifecycle Management: Own the enterprise documentation lifecycle. When the Advanced Systems team issues a technical Engineering Change Order or procedural mandate, the Process Auditor ensures these changes are successfully injected into every site's local runbook and CMMS (Computerized Maintenance Management System).
  • Vendor & Supply Chain Compliance: Audit third-party vendor execution in the field. Ensure that OEM technicians and chemical vendors are adhering to the strict SLA requirements, dosing protocols, and safety standards mandated by the engineering team.
  • Training & Capability Verification: Partner with the Lab Manager and Site Operations to verify that local teams have completed mandatory training on new procedures or technologies before they are authorized to interact with live systems.

Required Qualifications:

  • Experience: 7+ years of experience in Quality Assurance (QA), compliance auditing, or critical facility operations management (e.g., Data Centers, Nuclear Power, Aviation, or high-level manufacturing).
  • Technical Acumen: Deep understanding of critical environment Change Management processes, lock-out/tag-out (LOTO) procedures, and computerized maintenance management systems (CMMS).
  • Certifications: ISO 9001 Lead Auditor, Six Sigma, ITIL, or similar process-improvement/compliance certifications are highly preferred.
  • Analytical & Interpersonal Skills: Exceptional investigative skills. Proven ability to interview site staff, reconstruct procedural timelines, and enforce strict compliance standards without creating adversarial relationships with local Operations teams.
