  • Coordinate input from internal/external customers to understand needs, perceptions, and timing implications.

  • Knowledge of corporate policy and procedures and how they influence timing and approvals.

  • Experience using Momentum, GSTS, Primavera P6 or similar enterprise scheduling tools.

  • Excellent skills with MS Word, MS Excel, and MS PowerPoint.

What Can Give You a Competitive Edge (Preferred Qualifications)

  • Knowledge of Global Vehicle Development Process (GVDP).

  • High level of analytical ability, especially where problems are unusual, complex, or ambiguous.
