Environmental / Emissions Support

Perform emissions-related calculations and unit conversions using operational inputs (e.g., fuel consumption, runtime, generation output), maintaining clear assumptions and consistent units.

Develop and maintain Excel-based trackers and calculation workbooks with appropriate documentation and validation checks.

Reconcile data across multiple sources (logs, meters, vendor documents) and identify discrepancies requiring resolution.

Mission Critical Power / Microgrid Support

Support power and microgrid project activities through technical documentation, status tracking, and coordination of project artifacts (e.g., equipment data, reports, commissioning/turnover packages).

Assist with quantitative analyses that support operational and project decisions (e.g., runtime trends, fuel usage patterns, performance summaries).

Participate in site engagement as required, including capturing field observations and translating them into documentation and action items.

Contractor and Vendor Coordination

Interface with contractors and vendors to collect technical information, confirm deliverables, and support documentation completeness.

Maintain organized records suitable for internal review and external readiness.
