KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

Engineering Metrics & Performance Tracking

• Define, develop, and maintain a comprehensive metrics framework for the Engineering team, spanning project delivery, resource utilization, quality, and throughput.
• Own the collection, validation, and analysis of engineering performance data on a recurring cadence.
• Design and manage dashboards and reporting tools that provide leadership with real-time visibility into team output and health.
• Identify trends, gaps, and improvement opportunities from metrics data and translate findings into actionable recommendations.

Executive Presentations & Management Reporting

• Build high-quality, executive-ready presentations that communicate team performance, project status, strategic initiatives, and key decisions to senior leadership and the C-suite.
• Partner with the VP of Engineering to structure quarterly business reviews, project milestone reports, and cross-functional briefings.
• Develop a consistent storytelling framework that connects engineering activity to business outcomes - delivery timelines, cost, risk, and client impact.
• Maintain a library of presentation templates and reporting formats for repeatable, efficient communication.

Processes & Standard Operating Procedures

• Design, document, and implement engineering workflows and standard operating procedures (SOPs) that improve consistency, quality, and efficiency across the team.
• Lead process improvement initiatives by identifying friction points in current workflows and facilitating structured solutions.
• Establish change management practices to ensure new processes are effectively adopted across Engineering and Document Control functions.
• Maintain a living library of engineering process documentation, ensuring version control and accessibility for the team.

Training Materials & Team Enablement

• Develop onboarding and role-specific training materials for engineering team members, including guides, reference documents, visual aids, and instructional content.
• Translate complex technical procedures and workflows into accessible training content appropriate for various levels of engineering experience.
• Coordinate with technical leads to ensure training materials accurately reflect current tools, systems, and standards in use.
• Support continuous learning initiatives aligned with the team's growth trajectory and evolving project demands.

QUALIFICATIONS

Required

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Systems Engineering, or a closely related technical discipline.
• 5+ years of experience in an engineering environment, with a meaningful transition into process engineering, strategy, technical program management, or engineering operations.
• Exceptional PowerPoint skills - demonstrated ability to create polished, executive-ready presentations for technical and operational content.
• Strong analytical ability; comfortable working with metrics, performance data, and KPIs to drive insights and decisions.
• Experience developing and documenting engineering processes, SOPs, or operational frameworks.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to translate complex technical concepts for non-technical executive audiences.
• Highly organized, detail-oriented, and capable of managing multiple priorities in a fast-paced, growth-stage environment.

Preferred

• Experience in energy storage, power systems, electrical infrastructure, or data center environments.
• Familiarity with ESS technologies, MV/LV power systems, or UPS architecture is a strong advantage.
• Background in PMP, Six Sigma, Lean, or other structured process/project management methodologies.
• Experience supporting or building engineering onboarding programs or technical training curricula.
• Proficiency with reporting or PM platforms (e.g., Smartsheet, MS Project, Power BI, or equivalent).
• Prior experience in a high-growth, technology-forward company or EPC/infrastructure environment
