I supervise teams that build aircraft engines ensuring quality and safety standards are met.
My day begins with a production meeting to discuss the status of our builds and any issues that the teams need help resolving. Throughout my day, I’ll spend time working on cost out projects, doing various shop capacity and strategy analyses and help our teams solve problems that are stopping their engine builds. Towards the end of the day, I will attend another production meeting to discuss the day's progress and any new issues that came up.
