The Engineering Change Coordinator is responsible for coordinating and driving engineering changes for Engineer-to-Order products from identification through implementation and closure. The role ensures changes to drawings, bills of material, routings, specifications, and associated manufacturing information are communicated, prioritized, released, and implemented in a controlled manner.
The EC Coordinator acts as a central point of coordination between Engineering, Manufacturing, Materials/Planning, Quality, and Commercial teams, helping ensure engineering changes align with customer commitments, production schedules, material availability, and product quality.
A Day In The Life- Own the day-to-day coordination and tracking of Engineering Changes for ETO orders.
- Maintain visibility of open ECs, priorities, responsible owners, required actions, and completion status.
- Facilitate EC review and disposition with Engineering, Operations, Materials, Quality, and other stakeholders.
- Ensure changes progress from initial request through engineering release and manufacturing implementation.
- Escalate ECs that threaten customer delivery dates, manufacturing schedules, or material availability.
ETO Order Support
- Review active ETO orders for engineering changes or documentation issues that could prevent execution.
- Coordinate resolution of drawing, BOM, specification, configuration, and manufacturing-documentation discrepancies.
- Work with Planning and Operations to ensure released engineering information is available when required to support manufacturing.
- Identify changes affecting work already released to production and coordinate appropriate disposition.
Change Impact Management
- Determine which open orders, components, drawings, BOMs, or production activities may be affected by a proposed engineering change.
- Coordinate material disposition when changes create obsolete, excess, rework, or replacement material requirements.
- Ensure downstream stakeholders understand when a change becomes effective.
- Coordinate implementation timing to minimize disruption to production and customer delivery.
Cross-Functional Coordination
- Serve as the communication link between operations and the ETO execution team.
- Clearly document decisions, owners, required actions, and due dates.
- Follow up on overdue activities and unresolved dependencies.
- Communicate high-risk changes to appropriate leadership.
Process & Performance Improvement
- Develop and maintain EC tracking and reporting.
- Monitor recurring causes of engineering changes and identify opportunities to reduce preventable changes.
- Support improvements to ETO engineering-release and change-management processes.
- Track metrics such as open ECs, aging, overdue actions, implementation cycle time, and ECs affecting production.
- Help improve engineering-release quality and first-time-right execution.
Measures of Success
- Reduction in aging/open Engineering Changes
- Engineering Change cycle time
- Percentage of EC actions completed by required date
- Number of production interruptions attributable to unresolved engineering changes
- On-time engineering release supporting ETO production
- Improvement in first-time-right BOM and drawing releases
- Associate's degree or equivalent relevant manufacturing experience.
- Experience working in an engineered-product or manufacturing environment.
- Strong ability to coordinate multiple priorities and follow actions through completion.
- Ability to read and understand engineering drawings, bills of material, and product specifications.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills.
- Strong working knowledge of Microsoft Excel and standard Microsoft Office applications.
Preferred
- Experience in an Engineer-to-Order or Configure-to-Order manufacturing environment.
- Experience with ERP systems such as SAP.
- Experience with engineering change control, BOM management, document control, or product lifecycle management processes.
- Familiarity with CAD drawings and engineering documentation.
- Experience supporting electrical, mechanical, or utility-industry products.
