Establish and maintain consistent data structures, tag standards, naming conventions, and interfaces that make operational data accessible across the business.
Support the reliability and performance of the SCADA environment, troubleshooting communications, data quality, and application issues.
Work closely with manufacturing, facilities, automation, IT, and other technical teams to translate operational needs into effective data and visualization solutions.
Contribute to broader automation controls development and commissioning activities as opportunities arise, including new DAPS factory modules and R&D systems.
