• Perform asset‑level management of IPS data by updating asset attributes for new capital assets, processing testing documentation, updating asset statuses after in‑servicing, and other associated items as needed.
• Perform quality assurance of Transmission Field Services data by routine checks of accuracy of asset attribute data, correction of discrepancies, assistance with CICO requests (AEP’s proprietary Check-in Check-out app), and updating GPS and address information in IPS.
