## Description

We are seeking a Manager of Operation & Maintenance to lead the people who keep SpaceXSI's on-site power plant running. You will oversee supervisors, leads, and technicians supporting operations and maintenance of gas turbine generation, balance-of-plant, process and fluid systems, and plant electrical systems.

Responsibilities:

- Own operation and maintenance of the power plant, including gas turbines and generators, balance-of-plant, fuel gas and process/fluid systems, water, compressed/instrument air, plant HVAC and cooling, and electrical systems.

- Lead supervisors, leads, and technicians across plant, process, and electrical crafts as one O&M organization.

- Set daily and weekly priorities so planned maintenance, emergent work, alarms, trips, and outages are balanced without losing generation.

- Own the maintenance program: work planning, scheduling, procedures, CMMS discipline, spare parts readiness, and as-found/as-left documentation.

- Direct start-up, shutdown, switching, isolation, LOTO, and restoration so mechanical, process, and electrical work is coordinated and safe.

- Enforce SpaceXSI safety standards, including LOTO, NFPA 70E / arc-flash, confined space, and hot work.

- Lead outage planning and execution with engineering, OEMs, and contractors, and support commissioning and turnover of new generation and BOP systems into operations.

- Own O&M vendor and contractor performance, cost, and schedule.

- Drive reliability: bad-actor elimination, root-cause investigations, and standards that raise uptime as capacity grows.

- Coach and develop supervisors and leads.

- Communicate plant status, risks, team performance, and resource needs to site leadership.

Basic Qualifications:

- High school diploma or equivalency certificate.

- 6+ years of experience in power plant or other high-reliability industrial operations and maintenance.

- 2+ years directly managing supervisors, leads, or a multi-discipline technician organization.

Preferred Skills and Experience:

- Bachelor's degree in a technical, engineering, or related field, or equivalent experience.

- Experience operating or maintaining gas turbine generation and balance-of-plant.

- Experience leading a mixed-discipline O&M team.

- Working knowledge of P&IDs, single-line diagrams, electrical schematics, switching, LOTO, and NFPA 70E / arc-flash practices.

- Experience running a CMMS-based maintenance program.

- Experience managing O&M budgets, OEM service agreements, and third-party contractors.

Additional Requirements:

- Willingness to be in the plant and to perform hands-on work in all environments.

- Ability to work extended hours, nights, weekends, and on-call coverage to support plant operations.

- Remain focused while working in hazardous environments.

- Must be able to lift up to 25 lbs unassisted.
