Asset Life Cycle Management Leader
Schenectady, NY - USA
Job Summary
Today critical data about our turbine components blades drivetrain structural assemblies lives in disconnected systems. Inspection findings sit in drone portals. Repair dispositions live in salesforce. Manufacturing records exist in ERP. No single view connects them. An engineer reviewing a blade today has no easy way to know whether that same blade had a finding two years ago was repaired eighteen months ago or is approaching the end of its design life.
This role exists to change that. Starting with blades and expanding to all major mechanical components the Asset Lifecycle Management Leader will define the strategy build the cross-functional partnerships and drive the execution required to create a component-level digital record for every asset in our fleet from first serial number registration through inspection maintenance repair replacement and retirement.
