• Compile issues list actions.
• Contribute to reliability reviews across the season.
• Update issues database, closing issues as required.
• Attend events as required.
• Resolve low to medium severity issues if/when/as required (design changes, update drawings, etc.).
• Contribute to the definition and documentation of internal engineering procedures.
• Provide possible ‘Operations Room’ support across events to support the Reliability Manager at the track.
