  • Support root cause analysis (RCA) following incidents and ensure proper documentation and closure of corrective actions.
  • Drive the continuous improvement of maintenance practices and asset reliability through data analysis and lessons learned.
  • Performance Reporting & Continuous Improvement

  • Monitor and analyze site performance metrics, including uptime, incident response, and maintenance compliance, against defined SLAs and KPIs.
  • Report variances and KPI fluctuations to internal stakeholders and site leadership in a timely manner, in accordance with client SLA documentation.
  • Develop and deliver regular operational status reports to both internal management and client representatives.
  • Partner with the Data Center Manager and Operations leadership to identify efficiency improvements and cost-saving initiatives.
  • Ensure lessons learned from incidents are captured and communicated across teams to prevent recurrence.
  • Training, Compliance & Safety Culture

  • Enforce adherence to all regulatory, safety, and environmental requirements in line with Salute and client protocols.
  • Lead and participate in site safety programs, audits, and emergency preparedness drills.
