  • Accomplishments in the OIE position include:
  • Regularly meeting Key performance indicator targets as set by the operating business.
  • Meeting plan attainment goals throughout the year and accomplishing quarterly targets for work completion.
  • Achieving work scopes within and under the budgeted man hours stipulated within the business plan.
