Job description

Client in Akron, Ohio is seeking a Line Shop Analyst contractor who will travel around NE Ohio to various line shops and service centers to meet with Managers and Directors to review financials.

• Candidates can be located in the Toledo, Akron, Cleveland areas.
• Must be comfortable asking questions around where hours are being charged to, etc.
• Focus of this role is to help Lineshops achieve capitalization targets.
• Possibility of contract to hire

Short-Term Actions

• Targeted field visits to shops and service centers with lower capitalization rates.
  • This would likely require additional support resources, including Accounting Policy participation, to accompany Business Services and Operations teams during shop reviews.
  • The objective would be to better understand local practices, identify inconsistencies, and provide real-time guidance on capitalization decisions.

Key focus areas to include:

• Standardized review tools and reporting
  • Supervisors rely on a variety of work management tools – some are QV reports, Business Services reports, and Operations reports, which can make reviews cumbersome and potentially create analysis paralysis.
  • Evaluate whether reporting and dashboards can be streamlined to provide a smaller set of leading indicators that help supervisors more effectively review and manage time charging and capitalization performance.
• Accounting Policy guidance and training
  • Develop or refresh Accounting Policy playbooks and guidance documents. Translate accounting speak to easy to understand operations tasks
  • Provide targeted training for line supervisors, shop personnel, and Business Services teams to reinforce expectations and improve consistency across operating areas.
• Design standards review
  • Conduct a joint Accounting Policy and Engineering review of standard design requirements.
  • Ensure projects are being designed and executed using approved standard designs, while also considering capitalization implications early in the process.
• Time charging process review
  • Evaluate existing tools and processes related to time charging, particularly around PowerOn follow-up activities, which may present opportunities for improvement.
