Senior Logistics Engineer

Reference: JHB001983-Kamo-1

To execute and lead elements of the logistic engineering and supporting infrastructure in order to influence design for supportability and deliver their operating support baselines to the operations. Duties & Responsibilities

JOB DESCRIPTION

• To ensure the integrity of product data packs through defining and implementing Physical Breakdown

• Structures (PBSs) on multiple products, leading and executing Physical Configuration Audits (PCAs) and initiating corrective actions and change management on deficient/as-built data packs while managing and structuring the data packs in the Configuration Management System (CMS) (e.g. ALIM).

• To execute Logistics Support Analysis (LSA) and deliver the Operational Support Baseline (OsBL) to ensure that the prime equipment is supportable, using and guiding others in the use of the company LSA Data Base (e.g. Ramlog IME), to:

• Develop Reliability Estimations

• Lead and execute Failure Modes, Effects & Criticality Analysis (FMECA)

• Identify and document Preventive & Corrective Maintenance Tasks

• Analyse Maintenance Procedures and Resources

• Draw conclusions from LSA data and provide LSA Information Reports

• Propose Design/Operation/Support amendments

• Lead reviews of LSA data and OsBL

• To provide operational support in maintaining operational availability targets by leading investigations into failures, conducting root cause analysis, initiating and collaborating on engineering changes to resolve deficiencies and leading the development of work instructions / amended task descriptions.

• To ensure products are designed for supportability by leading the definition of the logistic components while influencing the system architectures, functional/performance specifications, Interfaces, system designs, analysis & trade study reports

• To lead the verification and validation of the system supportability and logistic elements

• Execute support planning to ensure the logistic work is correctly tailored to the intended operational context through developing system level support concepts, Logistic Engineering Plans e.g. (LEMP) and preparing the ILS statement of compliance

• To increase the overall ILS competence of the engineering team and ensure continuation through knowledge transfer and mentorship
