• Unit Configuration: Utilize proprietary selection software to "build" custom unit configurations, translating sales quotes into precise instructions for the production team.
• Discrepancy Resolution: Proactively identify "technical mismatches" (e.g., incompatible electrical phases or footprint constraints) and collaborate with Sales and Product Engineers to resolve them.
• Lifecycle Monitoring: Monitor the "order-to-production" cycle, ensuring technical submittals, performance data sheets, and engineering approvals (ETOs) move quickly to maintain delivery timelines.
• Change Management: Process "Change Orders" by updating existing entries across all systems to prevent manufacturing errors or shipping delays.
• Department Liaison: Act as a bridge between Sales, Engineering, and Production to resolve technical discrepancies or lead time issues.
• Record Keeping: Maintain digital and physical archives of engineering submittals, quotes, and final order confirmations.

• Aptitude: High attention to detail and the ability to work effectively in a fast-paced, rapidly changing environment.

Physical Demands & Work Environment

• Activity: Prolonged periods of sitting at a desk working on computers; ability to follow a work schedule based on production and business needs.
