The Operations and Maintenance Analyst keeps the day-to-day work of the O&M function moving. This person logs system issues, issues and tracks work orders with third-party vendors, reviews invoices, supports insurance and warranty claims, keeps our records accurate, and produces routine performance reporting.

Work Orders

• Create and issue work orders to O&M vendors with a clear scope, site details, priority, and required completion date.
• Track every open work order, follow up with vendors on status, and escalate delays to the Senior Manager.

• Maintain the preventive maintenance calendar, schedule preventive maintenance with vendors, and confirm reports are received and filed.
