Job Description Summary

The Agile ITR (Inquiry-to-Remittance) Lead Engineer acts as the primary Agile team focal point in the Americas region for Agile Conversions, Modifications, and Uprates (CM&Us) services, managing projects from customer inquiry through order receipt and outage execution. The role requires a balanced commitment of approximately 50% time spent leading and assigning work to other ITR engineers, and 50% performing hands-on ITR execution; this balance is dynamic and will shift based on team requirements and individual capabilities.
Upon receipt of a customer inquiry, the ITR Lead Engineer reviews the assigned R1 Gate Case to ensure requirements are met, clarifies customer scope, and provides a clear handover to the Agile ITR Engineer for proposal development. The Lead Engineer provides guidance, oversight, and support to Agile ITR Engineers throughout the proposal creation process and during subsequent customer negotiations. Upon receipt of a customer order, the Lead Engineer reviews assigned R3 Gate requests, manages order assignments, and resolves project escalations.
Additionally, the Lead Engineer participates in global continuous improvement exercises and serves as a key driver for KPI excellence. Success in this role requires active collaboration with Design Engineering, Sales, Commercial, Project Management, Field Services, and Supply Chain.
