• Support root cause analysis (RCA), bad actor investigations, and rotating equipment reliability improvement initiatives.
• Ensure predictive models remain aligned with actual operating conditions, maintenance practices, and asset behaviour throughout the sustainment lifecycle.
• Act as the primary technical focal point during sustainment and managed service phases for assigned rotating equipment asset portfolios.
• Support continuous improvement, model refinement, and enhancement of predictive monitoring effectiveness.
• Track and report reliability and value realization KPIs including:

• Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF)

• Unplanned downtime reduction
• Deferred failures
• Maintenance cost optimization
• Equipment availability improvements
• Participate in governance meetings, technical reviews, workshops, and value realization sessions with customer stakeholders, asset owners, and project management teams.
• Provide operational feedback and engineering recommendations to analytics, product, and delivery teams to improve solution performance, operational adoption, and customer outcomes.
• Support long-term customer adoption, sustainment, and continuous business value realization from deployed predictive analytics solutions.
• Conduct periodic visits to customer plants, operational facilities, and industrial sites to support deployment activities, technical assessments, alert validation, reliability reviews, and stakeholder engagement.
• We are known for our extraordinary people who make the impossible possible every day.
• Questians are driven by hunger, humility, and aspiration.
• We believe that our company culture is the key to our ability to make a true difference in every industry we reach.
