• Monitor and manage work-in-progress (WIP) across multiple assets, ensuring on-time execution and resolution of blockers.
• Ensure all necessary documentation is provided and validated to support engine or module repairs.
• Present inspection results and recommendations to the customer and obtain timely approvals.
• Manage and track any revisions and maintain detailed engine/module workscopes based on technical requirements, asset strategy, and commercial constraints.
• Participate in daily shop floor coordination meetings and communicate evolving priorities to production, planning, and logistics teams.
• Oversee and lead material review boards to determine parts disposition and identify exchange opportunities.
• Present creative and cost-effective material solutions that align with technical and contractual requirements.
• Provide regular status updates including customer-facing progress reviews.
• Track and close out customer action items and deliverables in collaboration with internal teams.
• Utilize ERP systems (such as Quantum) and internal tools to monitor asset status, trigger actions, and ensure data accuracy.
• Coordinate inbound and outbound logistics of customer-owned equipment and parts.
• Support process improvement initiatives to streamline shop visit execution and enhance asset value.
• Act as the primary communication channel, ensuring strong relationships and alignment across internal and external teams.
