Serve as the delegated authority for stress signatures at the site, responsible for reviewing and approving drawings, engineering documentation, change proposals, customer deliverables, and concessions. Conduct stress team skills assessments and drive strategic development initiatives, including the management of procedures and standard work practices to ensure continuous improvement and alignment with industry standards.

Problem-Solving: Proven ability to solve complex structural analysis problems and make informed, high-impact decisions under pressure. Leadership: Strong leadership skills with the ability to chair technical discussions, provide clear guidance on complex interdisciplinary issues, and inspire and influence the stress team.

Technical Expertise: In-depth understanding of classical analysis methods, including mechanical components, classical stress methods, strength of materials, static and fatigue strength calculations.
