· Ongoing collaboration with OEM Engineering, Aftermarket Engineering, and operational teams.

Future Leadership Opportunities

As the organization evolves and business needs develop, additional leadership opportunities may be available beyond the initial scope of this role. These opportunities may provide broader exposure to leadership in other functional areas.

Any future expansion of responsibilities will be determined based on organizational needs, the individual’s demonstrated capability, and appropriate alignment with existing operational leadership.
