- Root cause analysis and remediation: Lead root cause analysis and corrective actions, work with Engineering and Product teams on technical solutions such as redesigns and retrofits (reviewing drawings, specifications and requisitions against the contract), and coordinate site remedial work safely with minimal disruption to customer operations.
- Lessons learned: Capture lessons learned, recurring failure trends, cost-of-quality insights and process gaps, and feed them back to Project Delivery, Quality, Business Lines and Product Groups, building strong interfaces with Quality to resolve issues at the root cause.
- Continuous improvement: Identify opportunities to improve project controls, reporting, forecasting and delivery processes, and to create further value in the aftermarket space.
- Reporting: Report monthly on warranty project status, portfolio performance and forecast costs.
- Capability building: Coach project teams and Market Areas on warranty governance, escalation, records and handover expectations, and share your experience to drive consistent, effective project management.
- Leadership contribution: Contribute as an active member of the APA Minerals Delivery Leadership Team, shaping strategy, culture and continuous improvement across the region.
