• Ensure clear governance handoff between Nonconformance Management and Incident Management when Serious Injury or Fatality potential (SIFp) criteria are identified, avoiding duplication and maintaining procedural alignment.

• Maintain Intelex as the authoritative system of record, enforcing discipline in documentation, approvals, rationale, corrective actions, and evidence to ensure transparency, traceability, and audit readiness.

• Analyze fleet wide trends, repeat issues, and systemic weaknesses related to incidents and nonconformances; elevate insights and recommendations to the Director of Quality to support continuous improvement and preventive actions.

• Own site level quality process execution at the Central Machine Shop, including identification and documentation of process or product deviations, support of investigations, and verification of corrective action completion for shop specific issues.

• Partner with Machine Shop leadership, Engineering, Operations, and EHS to improve process consistency, inspection effectiveness, and defect prevention, translating fleet level lessons learned into practical local process improvements.

• Provide technical guidance and coaching to investigation owners and contributors across the fleet on risk based thinking, governance expectations, and documentation quality, without assuming execution ownership or people management responsibility.

• Up to 20% travel may be required.

• Performs other related duties as assigned
