Description

You are responsible for the lifecycle of straightforward solutions at the project level. You follow team standard work procedures, and you are learning operations engineering best practices. You are able to operate effectively according to schedule. Your work impacts project goals. It may impact equipment decisions, solutions, partner teams, shared project schedule and scope for an assigned project. In addition, it may impact external entity (e.g., vendor, integrator, etc.) schedule, work quality, and efficiency.

You deliver building/system designs per standards (e.g., racking, shelving, storage, work cells, self-contained machines). You are learning to qualify equipment (e.g., installation, performance, life span). You are learning how to simplify, optimize, remove bottlenecks for solutions. You are able to resolve basic system problems and you are learning to perform root cause analysis. You actively participate in projects.

You validate stakeholder designs and customer requirements and are able to identify technical deficiencies effectively. You make trade-offs: time vs. resources.

You drive productive discussions. You help the team and their partners reach consensus. You are an advocate for the customer and for your team. You distinguish between important and urgent. You are learning to establish milestones and drive sensible deadlines.

You run effective meetings. Your verbal and written style is clear and concise. You are able to transform raw thoughts into clear documentation. You ensure the right information about the state of a project is delivered to the right audience at the right time (e.g., status reports, metrics, etc.). You clearly articulate scope, timeline, owners, risks, and the steps to mitigate those risks at each stage. You drive the resolution of problems, and either manage their resolution or ensure a clear hand-off to the right owner. You make sure each project has measures of success (Q: How do you know your project is on track? How do you know it saves money? How do you know the outcome is acceptable? How do you know your customers are satisfied?). You may participate in the interview process and help train new members of the team.
