THE ROLE
Serve as technical liaison between field mechanics and OEM engineering on a military aircraft maintenance and repair program.

• Maintain detailed logs of findings, repair status, and engineering dispositions throughout the project.

Assess & Problem-Solve

• Evaluate structural damage against SRM (Structural Repair Manual) and Service Bulletin criteria to determine repair paths.
• Identify when standard repairs apply versus when Boeing engineering approval is required for non-standard conditions.
• Work with mechanics to clarify technical questions and resolve field issues that could impact schedule or quality.
• Support Material Review Board (MRB) processes for damage disposition and repair authorization.
