Integrated Transformer Management (ITM) System Leader (Digital Transformation)

The opportunity

Powering a more sustainable energy future takes more than great technology-it takes teams who continuously improve how work gets done.

You'll lead Kaizens, coach teams, and help create an improvement culture where transparency, learning, and practical experimentation are part of the way work happens-day after day.
