Research aircraft logbooks and/or perform visual inspections for new enrollments or existing contract reviews. Review and process invoices in AMS, meeting turn-time goals established by Technical Services Management and company policy. Perform event triage by assessing maintenance findings and ensuring each situation is handled appropriately and efficiently, serving as primary liaison between maintenance facilities, parts sourcing vendors, and the customer — handling the event directly or turning it over to a Product Line Specialist as needed.
