Position Summary

The Project Equipment Coordinator serves as the central control point for all equipment maintenance and repair requests across AIS project operations. This office-based role is responsible for capturing, prioritizing, scheduling, and routing all maintenance work, ensuring that requests flow through a structured process rather than directly to mechanics. By managing intake, triage, and cross-functional coordination, this role enables mechanics to focus on execution while keeping project teams, Operations-Logistics (OL), Operations-Project (OP), and leadership informed on equipment status and repair timelines. This is a non-supervisory position with no authority to perform repairs, conduct data entry, or manage parts inventory directly.

ESSENTIAL DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIESIntake & Work Control

• Evaluate and prioritize all maintenance and repair work based on safety risk and project production impact

• Communicate scheduling decisions and any changes to affected project teams and field leadership
  
  

Workflow Coordination

• Route approved and prioritized work orders to the appropriate mechanic(s) for execution

• Maintain continuous visibility over all active work and identify bottlenecks or delays before they impact operations
  
  

Communication Hub

• Ensure the equipment maintenance and repair system (e.g., Fleetio) reflects accurate and current status of all AIS equipment at all times
• Provide regular updates to project teams, OL, OP, and leadership on repair status, equipment availability, and anticipated returntoservice timelines, escalation risks and urgent issues
• Manage stakeholder expectations around repair timing, prioritization decisions, and resource constraints
• Escalate critical equipment failures, safetyrelated issues, or capacity constraints to the Field Logistics Coordinator and leadership without delay
