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.

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.
