People Management & Growth

• Scale the engineering team, defining roles and managing the full hiring pipeline.
• Develop career pathways, conduct performance reviews and implement mentoring programs to foster professional growth and reduce attrition.
• Continuously assess and adapt skill sets to emerging domains (Cybersecurity, BIM) and core competencies (layout, design integration, control and protection, auxiliary services, civil work interface, document control, electrical and mechanical calculations).
• Champion an inclusive, innovative environment focused on knowledge sharing and continuous improvement.

Operational Excellence & Resource Allocation

• Coordinate with Worldwide Regional Engineering Leaders to share workloads and set project priorities.
• Decide which tasks are managed in‑house versus outsourced (make‑or‑buy) to optimize cost, quality and on‑time delivery.
• Oversee the selection and rollout of design, modeling and project management software in coordination with IT and Business Global Engineering Function Head, incorporating AI mindset.
• Monitor and optimize performance metrics such as team utilization, first‑pass yield, on‑time delivery and planned vs. actual engineering hours.

Quality & Continuous Improvement

• Develop rigorous frameworks for error‑free engineering, compliant with ISO/IEC/IEEE/ANSI standards and the GSI Engineering Management Handbook.
• Track cost of poor quality (CoPQ), minimize rework and non‑conformances, and implement corrective/preventive actions.
• Introduce new methodologies or digital solutions that enhance project speed, accuracy and inter‑team collaboration, especially in HVDC and HV substation design.

Stakeholder Engagement & Reporting

• Serve as the primary liaison between the NAM/LAM GSI Engineering Hub and Worldwide Regional Engineering Leaders.
• Provide monthly and quarterly executive updates on budget, staffing, quality metrics and major project milestones.
• Engage internal Worldwide Regions as key stakeholders, gathering feedback to refine service offerings and continuous improvement initiatives.
• Act as regional representative for GSI, coordinating technical solutions for regional customers.
