Repairs Administrator

Repairs Administrator

The Repair Administrator will be a key member of the Santa Clarita business unit, working with Customer Services, Program Management, Planning, Engineering, and end customers. The position will support two key areas: repair planning and repair proposals reporting into the Manager, Customer Service Repair & Life Cycle.

The Repair Administrator will be required to initiate plant maintenance orders (PMO) for all repair units; this step kicks off the production repair process. In addition to PMO creation, the position will provide a commitment date for all funded repairs, and status repairs as they progress through the repair process, issuing ship alerts to Customer Services, and proactively informing Program Managers of delays. The Repair Administrator will coordinate with the production planning teams to understand ATE availability and develop strategies for successfully executing on both production and repair contracts.

On the proposals side, the Repair Administrator will meet with Engineering, Program Management, and Finance to review the baseline of estimate (BOE) to determine repair steps required, as well as any processing and material requirements. The position will create the letter proposal using this information and the financial cost roll-up, attend customer meetings to status and discuss the proposal(s) right through to purchase order submission.

The successful candidate must have the ability to manage multiple priorities, have strong attention to detail, and is comfortable interfacing directly with customers. This is an on-site position.

Location: Santa Clarita, CA

Salary: $ 27.93 - 37.21 hourly.
