Your role in helping us shape the future:
In the Aircraft Technical Services (ATS) department, we manage the integration and installation of Intelsat Inflight systems onboard multiple commercial aircraft types.
As an ATS Project Engineer, you will lead talented technical teams on multiple projects through all phases of the engineering lifecycle, including proposal development, project plans and budgets, resource allocation, deliverable tracking, risk/issue management, etc.
You should have a genuine desire to drive an increase in consistency and collaboration within the ATS teams and between ATS and other Intelsat departments.
Are you up to the challenge?

• Keep programs on track by holding regular integrated project team (IPT) meetings to review and update project schedule and delivery status, risks and issues, actions, and resources. Assure early problem identification and implementation of corrective action.
• Assess factors contributing to project success or failure and make recommendations for future improvements or changes. Research lessons learned, best practices, risk assessments, and trends as a foundation for new baseline plans.
• Ensure all project plans and sites are kept up to date with respect to scope, deliverables progress and scheduling, budget status, and resource allocation by adhering to defined ATS playbook processes, procedures, and applications.
• Provide timely reports to management to ensure an understanding of project status and performance. Prepare interim and completion project reports.
• Identify continuous improvement opportunities across departmental teams.
