Prepare estimates for subcontract management effort and assess the cost, schedule, technical, and integration impacts of proposed changes.
Serve as the primary interface with subcontractor Program and Project Managers, driving timely decisions, issue resolution, delivery momentum, and collaborative working relationships.
Develop and oversee corrective action and recovery plans to achieve timely, cost-effective delivery and readiness for aircraft- and system-level integration, verification, and acceptance.
Support the Program Manager to ensure program goals are achieved and customer-related issues are resolved.
