You’ll also analyze process control procedures and recommend changes where needed; prepare monthly reports to the Director of Technical Specialists on utilization, work summaries and work projections; review designs for operability; perform project follow up reviews to determine client satisfaction with past service and develop recommendations on the need for future service; and prepare or assist in the preparation of proposals. While the location is flexible, the candidate should preferably be based in the Southern U.S. and reside near a major airport. Position will require 50% travel.
