  • Review traveler accuracy and completeness during internal readiness checks and project audits

Manufacturing Process Optimization

  • Analyze fabrication and assembly sequences to optimize workflow, reduce rework, and enhance resource utilization
  • Engage with engineering, production, and QC to identify opportunities for improving traveler format, usability, and shop floor efficiency
  • Standardize traveler templates, formatting, and visual design for ease of understanding by craft and inspection personnel
  • Participate in root cause analysis and lessons learned sessions related to traveler errors, rework, or fabrication delays

Coordination & Documentation Management

  • Collaborate with engineering to ensure the latest revision drawings and specifications are used
  • Communicate traveler updates and changes to fabrication, QA, and document control
  • Support audit readiness by ensuring all traveler packages are traceable, signed, and properly filed upon job completion
  • Maintain alignment with AVANTech NQA-1 and ASME Section VIII/B31.3 programs, ensuring every traveler supports code compliance and customer satisfaction
