Evaluate feasibility and ROI for adding new components to the reuse program.

Program Development & Part Number Creation

Work with Engineering to create and maintain reuse part numbers, ensuring proper documentation and traceability.

Establish testing, cleaning, and packaging standards for each reclaimed part type.

Cross‑Department Coordination

Partner with Purchasing to regulate inventory levels and ensure proper stocking at Regional Distribution Centers (RDCs).

Collaborate with the Salvage Department to include targeted components on salvage authorizations and ensure consistent harvesting.

Communicate part requirements, stock limits, and testing protocols to the reuse facility.

Catalog & Supply Chain Oversight

Monitor reuse part listings in the electronic parts catalog to ensure availability, accuracy, and visibility to field locations.

Track supply flow and address bottlenecks or shortages proactively.

Quality Control & Continuous Improvement

Oversee quality assurance for all reclaimed parts installed back into the fleet.

Adjust testing procedures, cleaning methods, and packaging standards based on field performance and feedback.

Retire reuse part numbers and deplete stock when components are no longer needed for fleet repairs.

Aftermarket Strategy & Revenue Recovery

Research and evaluate opportunities to sell surplus or retired reuse parts into the aftermarket.

Develop resale channels, pricing strategies, and partnerships to maximize value recovery.

Ensure compliance with safety, legal, and environmental requirements for aftermarket sales.

Qualifications :

Experience in fleet maintenance, automotive / truck parts management, supply chain, or salvage operations.

Strong analytical skills with the ability to evaluate cost savings, part performance, and inventory needs.

Excellent cross‑functional communication and project management abilities.

Familiarity with parts catalogs, engineering documentation, and quality control processes.
