Service Engineering Change Specialist
About us
The Service Engineering Change Specialist is responsible for managing the service impact of engineering changes throughout the product lifecycle, ensuring that product modifications are accurately reflected across service documentation, spare parts structures, repair methodologies, and service readiness processes.
About the role
Working closely with Product Engineering, Manufacturing, Quality, Supply Chain, Service Operations, and Aftersales teams, this role acts as the bridge between product change management and downstream service execution. The position ensures that engineering changes are assessed, communicated, implemented, and governed effectively so that repair networks, service centres, and markets remain fully aligned with the latest product configurations.
The role plays a critical part in maintaining service continuity, minimising field disruption, and improving customer experience by ensuring engineering changes are translated into accurate service solutions, technical documentation, and service parts readiness.

Track engineering changes throughout the lifecycle and ensure service deliverables are completed on schedule.
Maintain visibility of change status, implementation risks, and service dependencies.
Service Parts & Configuration Management
Assess service parts requirements arising from product changes.
Ensure Master Parts Lists (MPLs), service BOMs, and service assemblies are updated accurately.
Validate service part supersession, interchangeability, and obsolescence requirements.
Work with Supply Chain and Service Parts teams to ensure readiness of replacement parts and assemblies.
Service Documentation & Technical Readiness
Coordinate updates to service manuals, repair procedures, technical bulletins, troubleshooting guides, and service communications.
Ensure engineering changes are captured within service knowledge systems and technical documentation.
Support market launches of engineering changes and new configurations.
Ensure field repair processes remain accurate and compliant following product modifications.
