JOE DRIVER
Baton Rouge Office
Automation Engineer III
Champion for 8 years

Champion’s First Technical Community Lead, Joe Driver

Leveraging the Technical Community Toolbox is an essential element of the Learning and Growth Perspective section of our Champion Strategy Map. Reusable templates, standards, tools, and training allow us to avoid reinventing the wheel, better understand and use our systems, and have access to valuable resources that help us provide the best possible services to our customers.

To further our efforts of expanding the Technical Community Toolbox, Champion has created a 6-12 month rotating position for a Technical Community Lead. Joe Driver will serve as our first Technical Community Lead. Joe has been part of the Champion team for over eight years and has extensive experience across various PLC, DCS, and HMI/SCADA platforms.

As Technical Community Lead, Joe will continue his engineering activities at the Baton Rouge office but will be assigned 4-5 days per month to work across all Champion offices and build up our toolbox. In this role, Joe will collaborate with other Technical Community representatives as well as engineers company-wide. His responsibilities will include reaching out to Technical Community representatives and engineers from all offices regarding content for the toolbox. Joe will chart out the overall direction of the toolbox and identify reuse and development opportunities. He will also lead Champion engineers and co-ops in the development of new templates, standards, tools, and training.

Please continue to contribute to the Technical Community Toolbox on SharePoint, and offer your support and input to Joe as he helps us move forward with this important endeavor.
