• Ensure alignment between engineering drawings, material requirements, and manufacturing processes.
• Support shop-floor execution by resolving technical issues and driving timely problem resolution.
• Coordinate with Operations, Quality, Planning, and Materials teams to ensure smooth production flow and eliminate bottlenecks.
• Lead root cause analysis (RCA, 8D, 4D) for manufacturing and quality issues.
• Support the implementation and sustainment of Build-in-Quality (BIQ) practices and Lean manufacturing initiatives.
• Drive continuous improvement activities focused on Safety, Quality, Delivery, and Cost (SQDC).
• Support functional testing and inspection readiness activities.
• Ensure compliance with project specifications, customer requirements, and applicable international standards (*, ASME, API, ISO, ATEX, IECEX, UL).
• Support manpower planning, capacity reviews, and manufacturing readiness assessments for new projects.
• Make decisions on training needs for the production team.
• Mentor and support junior engineers, Engineering Change Technicians (ECTs), and shop-floor teams on manufacturing processes and technical requirements.
• Participate in LEAN initiatives and engage Six Sigma tools for process improvements.
• Develop and implement process improvements to reduce costs and cycle times.
• Implement productivity actions and participate in EHS-related actions to improve safety in the assigned area.
