• Incident & Change Management: Facilitate major changes, log activities, track outages, and supply engineers with operational data to speed recovery.

• Global Coverage: Maintain a follow-the-sun operational model, delivering daily hand-off reports and extending triage coverage across time zones.

Team Leadership

• Support and guide a distributed team across Canada, the US, and India, including internal staff, contracted engineers, and remote-hands providers.
