  6. Manage construction kick-off planning, addressing all agenda items well in advance, including safety, schedule creation, and distribution of drawings to production personnel for review.
  7. Manage and mentor production coordinators, providing direction on daily projects and overseeing larger initiatives such as assembly line layouts and process refinement.
  8. Oversee the Engineering Change Request (ECR) process, reviewing and approving all ECRs.
  9. Collaborate with the Quality Control (QC) department to implement standard work procedures, support the closure of CARs, and establish long-term fixes to prevent recurrence.
  10. Partner with the Continuous Improvement (CI) team, contributing to product research, construction drawing coordination, design calculations, ROI calculations, and other improvement efforts.
  11. Act as project engineer on significant engineering and production projects, including Factory Witness Tests and prototype testing. Handle research, pricing, product procurement, and project management on the floor with production leaders, ensuring accuracy in as-built documentation.
  12. Work with production and planning teams to gather essential project information, especially for time trials and scheduling tasks as projects transition to main production.
  13. Perform administrative duties such as reviewing and writing reports, approving expenditures, enforcing rules, and making decisions regarding the purchase of materials and services.
  14. Ensure projects adhere to Request for Proposal (RFP) requirements, engineering specifications, and contracting procedures.
  15. Collaborate with line supervisors to oversee staff training, development, and competency maintenance.
  16. Monitor project progress against schedules and recommend resource allocation as needed to achieve goals.
  17. Review QC inspection reports and assist in resolving field construction problems.
