• QA/QC Oversight: Supports the QA/QC of the master asset data set to ensure 100% inventory accuracy within the CMMS.
• Lifecycle Management: Proactively supports in managing assets from "cradle to grave," including onboarding equipment from capital projects and "end-dating" decommissioned assets.
• Maintenance Collaboration: Partners with facility maintenance teams to capture updates from small-scale repairs and component replacements on critical assets.

2. Capital-to-Facilities Liaison (Closeout Integration)

3. Facilities Annual Asset Assessment Oversight

• Workflow Management: Oversee the annual engineer-led assessment process, ensuring building engineers conduct standardized assessments for all assets.
• Verification: Coordinate with Zone Chief Engineers to review and verify condition rankings.
• Data Consistency: Implement rigorous QA/QC to identify anomalies and ensure "remaining useful life" (RUL) metrics are consistent across the portfolio.

4. Strategic Data Analytics & Program Support

• Prioritization Insight: Analyze asset status and condition data to identify high-priority risks and provide recommendations on where capital spend should be prioritized (renovations vs. repairs).
• KPI Reporting: Track and report on performance KPIs related to asset data health and assessment completion.
• Warranty Support: Support the administration of critical asset warranty capture and ensure the Facilities team leverages warranty service before utilizing maintenance budgets.
