About The Job

We are seeking a structured and execution-driven Order Change Lead to take ownership of managing engineering and supplier changes within backlog (work-in-progress) customer orders. This role plays a critical part in ensuring that order modifications are executed efficiently, minimizing disruption to cost, quality, and delivery timelines while supporting continuous improvement across projects.

Your key responsibilities include:

• Take end-to-end ownership of change management for backlog (work-in-progress) orders, from defining options and evaluating impact to implementation and outcome measurement (cost, quality, time, etc.).

• Lead and coordinate the execution of change orders, ensuring timely, accurate, and effective implementation across multiple ship series and projects.

• Drive supplier and engineering changes on orders, supporting our supply chain strategy and design improvements to align with customer needs and strategic goals.

• Collaborate cross-functionally with Supply Chain, Sourcing, Inventory Control, Quality, Capital Project Execution, Engineering and change management to ensure seamless change execution.

• Monitor and report on progress, proactively identifying and resolving issues or delays.

• Ensure all documentation is complete and up to date, facilitating smooth transitions and compliance.

• Prioritize change orders based on business needs, cost implications, and customer impact.

• Maintain clear and effective communication with all stakeholders, providing regular updates and feedback.

  • Strong organizational and multitasking skills, with proven experience prioritizing and tracking multiple change orders in a fast-paced environment.

  • Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills, facilitating clear updates and effective collaboration across Supply Chain, Engineering, Quality, and Documentation teams.

  • Proficient in project management tools and software (e.g., Microsoft Project, Power BI, Microsoft planner, ERP systems), supporting efficient planning, progress tracking, and reporting.

  • Analytical thinker with a proactive approach to identifying and resolving issues, driving continuous improvement in cost reduction and quality.
