The Automation & Monitoring Specialist plays a key role in delivering and advancing automation, monitoring, and observability capabilities within Nutrien’s IT Operations.
This is a new and growing practice. Nutrien is building a modern automation and observability capability from the ground up, and this role is well positioned to influence how that capability develops across the organization. You will work in partnership with the IT Operations and Monitoring Manager to execute the roadmap, while shaping how automation and monitoring are implemented both within the IT Operations Center (ITOC) and across infrastructure and application teams.
The ITOC is the primary customer for these services, but success in this role depends on building strong working relationships across teams and driving adoption of common standards and practices. You will be responsible for delivering and scaling automation and monitoring capabilities that lead to measurable improvements in operational performance, including reduced manual effort, improved alert quality, and faster incident response.
The role is balanced between hands-on development and coordination. You will spend time building automation and integrations directly, while also coordinating other developers and influencing teams to align to shared standards and approaches.
