- Assist maintenance leadership and project teams with action item updates related to vehicle inspections, repairs, and certifications
- Support logistics processes through innovative staging of workflow for fleet staging areas, hangars, and turnaround pads
- Support management of material certifications as required – prevent use of uncertified materials in fleet maintenance and refurbishment
- Support maintenance and inventory personnel with “return to stock” and inventory purge actions for post-mission hardware
- Communicate timely with internal stakeholders on internal projects
- Organize and dispatch technicians to active job sites and work orders
- Schedule outside vendors for support with scheduled maintenance contracts, including vendor repairs and specialized services
