• Create and manage product structures and materials lists for turbine and generator systems, ensuring they are accurate and complete throughout the project lifecycle.
• Support the transition from sales to execution, helping define the scope of work and ensuring it’s properly documented and handed off to the right teams.
• Work with engineering teams to confirm that product configurations match customer selections and resolve any issues that arise.
• Review preliminary materials lists for turbine and generator projects to ensure completeness and accuracy.
• Ensure standard parts are correctly selected and support efforts to streamline the ordering process.
• Help manufacturing and sourcing teams resolve issues related to materials and timing, and monitor the quality of materials data.
• Participate in change management processes, making sure updates to product definitions are properly tracked and implemented.
• Collaborate across departments—including sourcing, manufacturing, engineering, and design—to improve processes and support continuous improvement.
• Follow company procedures and contractual requirements in all configuration management activities.
