- Generate Technical Services Items to support troubleshooting and repair of chronic and critical issues affecting on-time performance or aircraft airworthiness.
- Ensure aircraft systems repair instructions are issued promptly for chronic and repeat discrepancies.
- Provide technical troubleshooting support using applicable maintenance manuals, repair data, component manuals, and other approved reference materials.
- Maintain and update the database for Operationally Significant Items, including Air Turn Backs, Diversions, and High-Speed Rejected Takeoffs.
- Track significant technical events and recurring issues through resolution, helping ensure appropriate actions and follow-up are completed.
- Assist in identifying and recommending improvements to tooling and test equipment that can strengthen maintenance execution and troubleshooting.
- Collaborate across Technical Operations to communicate technical findings, priorities, and required actions clearly and effectively.
- Maintain awareness of applicable training requirements and ensure required certifications remain current before performing assigned functions.
