A bachelor’s degree in computer science, information technology, system analysis or a related study, or equivalent experience with a minimum of eight years of related experience in the utilities sector or an equivalent combination of education, training, and experience.
Comprehensive expertise across various technical domains, primarily networking, all relevant server platforms, disaster recovery strategies, data center management, backup strategies, and infrastructure.
Demonstrated knowledge of data networking technologies like Cisco, VMWare, Palo Alto, Fortinet, Cloudflare, SD-WAN, Azure ExpressRoute and AWS Direct Connect.
Excellent strategic thinking skills for tactical and operational planning activities, and to lead innovation by implementing best practices and cutting-edge technologies.
Effective collaboration and coordination skills to gain insights from departmental experts and deliver projects shared by multiple business groups.
