- Design and implement new Bentley APM solutions/use cases aligned to Electric Operations asset and maintenance processes.
- Lead and support upgrade activities to new Bentley APM releases, including impact assessments, configuration changes, regression testing support, and cutover/go-live support.

Training and upskilling responsibilities

- Create reusable training materials: slide decks, exercises, checklists, and “how-to” guides.
- Coach internal team during real work (pairing sessions) so knowledge transfers beyond classroom training.
