Track and report on program progress, risks, and business outcomes, ensuring transparency and accountability.

Continuous Learning, Thought Leadership & Industry Engagement:

Stay at the forefront of Industry 4.0, smart plant, and autonomous operations trends, technologies, and regulatory requirements.
Represent OPG at industry forums, conferences, and consortiums, sharing insights and best practices.
Mentor and develop internal talent, fostering a high-performing, innovative, and future-ready digital workforce.

10+ years of experience in digital transformation, smart plant/Industry 4.0 program delivery, or industrial automation, with at least 5 years in a leadership or architecture role.
Proven experience architecting and delivering large-scale Industry 4.0, IoT, digital twin, or autonomous operations programs in asset-intensive industries (energy, utilities, manufacturing, etc.).
Deep understanding of plant operations, operational technology (OT), IT/OT convergence, and cybersecurity.
Hands-on experience with IoT platforms, cloud/edge architectures, advanced analytics, robotics, and AI/ML-driven automation.
Strong knowledge of digital twin technologies, predictive maintenance, and real-time data integration.
Experience with agile program management, change management, and stakeholder engagement at all organizational levels.
Excellent analytical, strategic planning, problem-solving, and communication skills.
