  • Lead technical discussions with clients regarding system functionality, user experience, and operational requirements
  • Provide expert-level training and support to client operations teams during system handoff
  • Participate in design reviews and technical planning meetings to represent field deployment considerations
  • Build strong client relationships through technical expertise and responsive support
  • Represent field SCADA capabilities in client meetings and project planning sessions

Knowledge Management & Continuous Improvement
  • Document technical solutions, lessons learned, and best practices for team reference
  • Develop and maintain technical procedures, troubleshooting guides, and training materials
  • Drive continuous improvement initiatives based on field experience and emerging SCADA technologies
  • Stay current with Ignition platform updates, best practices, and industry standards for data center automation
