Lead complex deployments and upgrades of the data historian and visualization stack, including AVEVA PI Data Archive, PI-AF, PI Notifications, PI Vision, PI Interfaces, and related components.
Provide senior level, hands on troubleshooting and resolution support for incidents impacting industrial data platforms, working directly with manufacturing, automation, and IT partners to diagnose complex issues, restore service, and prevent recurrence in coordination with global support teams.
Work closely with operations and support services to understand shop-floor data needs and translate them into practical, scalable technology solutions that improve day-to-day manufacturing efficiency and effectiveness.
Collaborate with process engineers and key users to define and maintain company-wide manufacturing assets, process-data requirements, and standard templates.
Provide day-to-day technical oversight and leadership for application support teams, actively supporting incident investigation, root cause analysis, and resolution, and identifying opportunities to optimize system management and supportability.
Coordinate execution across a distributed, global team model, working closely with delivery and support teams across regions to ensure alignment, timely decision-making, and effective escalation handling.
Partner with automation and application leads to define and maintain robust data and system integration standards.
Drive continuous improvement of the Data Enablement product's processes, governance, and best practices.
Contribute to SDLC and computer validation practices where applicable.

Experience leading delivery and operation of enterprise industrial data platforms within complex, multi-site environments.
Deep, hands-on experience with AVEVA PI Systems, including architecture, PI-DA, AF, Analysis, Notifications, PI Vision, DAS, PI Interfaces, and integrations with larger data platforms.
Ability to design and explain different PI architectures (on-prem, virtualized, hybrid) and integration patterns.
Extensive exposure to manufacturing control systems (DeltaV, PLC/SCADA, etc.) and common manufacturing analytics use cases.
Good working knowledge of IT infrastructure considerations that affect data systems (networking, virtualization, storage).
Experience with SDLC methodology and computer validation concepts.
Familiarity with modern manufacturing data ecosystems and relevant Industry 4.0 concepts (e.g., IoT platforms, data brokers, OPC UA technologies, edge solutions) as they relate to industrial data integration.
Self-driven with strong leadership, communication, and stakeholder-management skills, with the ability to influence across functions and geographies.
