• Coordinate and, when qualified and authorized, perform assigned CATSWeb disposition and resolution activities for issues, actions, and subtasks from initial engineering review through completion and closure.
• Support corrective action plans that define the problem and cause, identify immediate or compensatory actions, evaluate extent of condition, resolve the issue, prevent recurrence, and include effectiveness reviews when appropriate.
