Our premier aerospace client is seeking an Aftermarket Tooling Project Engineer to join their Product Support team in a highly visible, cross-functional role. In this hybrid technical liaison capacity, you will interface directly with Design, Manufacturing, and Aftermarket Services to support the lifecycle of tooling required for critical field fleet repairs.

Because you will serve as the vital bridge between internal engineering disciplines, field operations, and external vendors, this role requires a strong, proactive communicator who can confidently manage engineering changes, solve problems under pressure, and ensure tools are successfully qualified for global customers!
