• Determine when mechanical design or fabrication work should be completed internally or outsourced based on available resources, technical requirements, cost, and project schedule, and obtain competitive quotations for outsourced design, components, fabrication, and other engineering-related requirements as needed.
• Identify long-lead items and provide the technical information, specifications, and requisitions needed to support purchasing and maintain the project schedule.
• Provide accurate and complete mechanical engineering documentation for customer review, approval, shipment, and final acceptance.

Build & Customer Support

• Work directly with shop personnel during machine build, startup, debug, and runoff to resolve mechanical issues and ensure the machine performs as designed.
• Support Service Technicians during customer installation, startup, and acceptance as required.
• Participate in customer and internal meetings as needed to address technical issues, project requirements, scheduling, and progress.
• Provide technical support to Sales and Aftermarket Parts as required.
