What I'm looking for

I’m looking for an engineering support role where I can drive document control, scheduling, and change/risk processes—using tools like Jira, Confluence, and Deltek Vision—to help teams deliver accurate work efficiently and on time.

I’m a senior Engineering Project Assistant with many years of experience supporting engineering teams to produce quality products for clients. I specialize in document control and management to ensure proper documentation of design decisions, and I bring excellent communication with internal staff and clients.

At Collins Aerospace/Wilsonville, I assisted multiple systems and software engineering teams on government and commercial programs. I served as a process and tool expert, built and updated Microsoft Project schedules, and developed charts and metrics for team meetings, including Staffing Center charts, ISAT updates, and financial reporting.

I also led critical governance work by conducting change control board meetings using Jira and facilitating risk meetings using Jrom. As an information steward, I managed access lists for share drives and data repositories, scheduled meetings, captured action items, and followed up to maintain team focus on priorities.

Earlier, I supported industrial projects across aerospace and other sectors by preparing, controlling, and transferring documents and issuing design packages for accuracy. I handled contractor submittals and RFIs, prepared correspondence and meeting minutes, updated procedure manuals, and ran project/staffing reports in Deltek Vision—along with experience supporting a special project to migrate DOORS to Jama.
