  • Ensure stable MOM platform operations, support and issue resolution.
  • Develop and maintain Reportrunner reporting and data integrations.
  • Drive MOM platform architecture, standards and technical roadmap.
  • Provide technical leadership, design reviews and mentoring within the MES team.
  • Lead technical solution design, estimation and delivery for digitalization initiatives.
