• Excellent written and verbal communication skills for technical reporting and stakeholder presentations
• Strong analytical skills with ability to interpret system performance data and identify trends

• Experience with Critical Environment facility commissioning (data centers, cleanrooms, mission-critical facilities)
• Knowledge of industry commissioning standards (ASHRAE, CIBSE, or equivalent certification bodies)
• Background in reliability-centered maintenance (RCM) or predictive maintenance program development
• Experience with Sewerage Treatment Plant or specialized building systems commissioning
• Track record of implementing failure prevention programs based on root cause analysis findings
