3+ years specifically focused on technical order fulfillment, service center operations, or outage/turnaround project execution.
Solid understanding of industrial repair processes, including casting/forging, welding, non-destructive testing (NDT), precision machining, and dynamic balancing.
Advanced skill with Microsoft Project, Excel, and industrial business management tools (ERP/MRP systems such as SAP or Oracle).
Exceptional communication, calm under pressure, and a collaborative, solution-oriented approach when managing high-stakes customer timelines.

Lead project kickoffs and formal phase-gate reviews to align customer requirements with structured shop floor execution and quality standards.
Partner closely with the facility General Manager, shop mechanics, engineering, procurement, and sales teams to ensure on-time, on-budget order delivery.
Serve as the primary technical point of contact for plant buyers, engineers, and sales reps during standard overhauls and emergency plant outages.
Review contract terms, manage scope changes, track project budgets, and oversee milestone invoicing and cash collections.
Leverage ERP/MRP live data to monitor work-in-progress (WIP), issue accurate status reports, and proactively execute contingency plans.
