- Model and enforce safety policies: PPE use, machine guarding, LOTO, ergonomic practices, and incident reporting.
- Maintain clean, organized work areas; ensure waste management and sanitation standards are met.
- Data, Reporting & Continuous Improvement
- Track production metrics: throughput, yields, giveaway, labor hours, downtime, and quality incidents.
- Complete end-of-shift reports and inventory usage; verify material reconciliation (trim, spices, packaging).
- Identify and implement improvements in processes, layouts, and training to optimize efficiency and quality.
- People & Culture
  - Coach and develop team members; conduct on-the-job training and cross-training.
  - Uphold company values and EEO standards.
