Requirements

  • Working knowledge of aircraft engine preservation criteria and the quality control requirements associated with shipping aircraft parts.
  • Ability to manage time and schedule independently and oversee a vendor’s work remotely.
  • Ability to collaborate effectively with team members and manage vendor relationships professionally.

Responsibilities

  • Partner with JPE Product Line Representatives to define the scope of work for each aircraft teardown, including determining which parts will be removed and coordinating parts return to Erlanger, shipment on Ro, or onsite scrap.
  • Request quotes and review disassembly agreements to ensure they are accurate and complete.
  • Serve as JPE’s owner of the Disassembly Services Agreement by confirming before each aircraft is inducted that the current Statement of Work and a signed Aircraft Exhibit covering pricing, location, and timing are in place, and that JSSI-approved change orders are signed before additional work begins.
  • Monitor vendor performance against the agreement and Statement of Work, including the six-week disassembly timeline, airframe storage requirements, and quality program requirements for foreign object debris prevention, counterfeit parts prevention, and the quality management system, and escalate deviations to JPE management.
  • Provide the vendor with the Harvest List, target component list, logbooks, and maintenance tracking software access, and approve in writing any scope changes, deviations, scrap, or shipments lacking required documentation.
  • Remotely verify the vendor’s work before parts ship, including removal tags, photographs, packing slips, and packaging, and confirm that certificates of destruction are received for scrapped parts.
  • Review vendor invoices against quoted pricing, deposit terms, and approved change orders, and confirm required insurance certificates are on file before work begins.
  • Track agreement deadlines and notice requirements, including the 30-day window to notify the vendor in writing of warranty defects, and arrange onsite audits or third-party oversight when needed.
  • Maintain accurate inventory records for all off-site assets during teardown and while stored at teardown facilities.
  • Oversee inspections and the receiving of parts into the warehouse.
  • Manage inventory at the teardown facility and identify and resolve discrepancies.
  • Prepare inventory reports as requested and take ownership of inventory accuracy.
  • Inspect parts, materials, and articles for damage and documentation accuracy, using vendor photographs and records during teardown and physical inspection upon receipt.
  • Ensure accurate entry of part numbers, serial numbers, and nomenclature into JSSI’s AvSight enterprise resource planning system, together with scanned copies of associated documentation.
  • Manage the upload of teardown manifests into AvSight, confirm that each manifest matches the Harvest List and parts received, and resolve discrepancies with the vendor.
  • Ensure required documentation accompanies each shipment, whether supporting a sales order, relocating a part to another warehouse, or sending a part for repair.
