As a document control manager, my primary responsibility was ensuring the smooth flow of engineering documentation throughout the design process. This involved identifying and addressing discrepancies and facilitating meetings for design reviews, engineering releases, and final production releases. Once the design process was complete, I uploaded all revision notices (RN), engineering change orders (ECO), and finished drawings to the engineering department's drawing vault for future reference.
Apart from this, I was also responsible for developing drawing formats, RN and ECO formats, and various other documentation required by the engineering department. Additionally, I had to ensure the accuracy and maintenance of the Enterprise Resource Planning system (ERP) by updating it with any new parts and materials needed by engineering. As part of the team that evaluated new vendors, I maintained a list of current vendors who regularly fabricated parts for the company. I would input necessary information describing the new parts and specify which vendor or vendors could manufacture them.
As a document control manager, having exceptional organizational skills and an acute sense of meeting deadlines was crucial. I frequently administered milestone charts and visited engineering team members to ensure compliance with engineering drawing requirements, even if it meant being perceived as a nuisance.
