Full Job Description

Support and look to resolve processes and production needs with new innovative solutions. Build equipment upgrades, and manufacturing technology improvements that increase efficiency and productivity.
Contribute to financial oversight by supporting our Key Performance Metrics.
Monitoring expenditures, tracking variances, and identifying opportunities to improve profitability.
Ensure compliance with OSHA regulations, company safety policies, and industry best practices while promoting a strong safety culture across all locations.
Analyze key manufacturing metrics including Overall Equipment Effectiveness, downtime, yield, scrap, labor efficiency, quality performance, and cost per unit to identify opportunities for improvement.
Be able to understand our metrics and provide operational updates, recommendations, and strategic insights to executive leadership.
Perform other duties as assigned in support of company objectives and Core Values.

Strong focus on quality systems, process consistency, and continuous improvement methodologies.
Excellent communication skills with the ability to effectively collaborate with frontline employees, supervisors, plant managers, and executive leadership.
Ability to work independently, manage multiple priorities, and perform effectively in a dynamic, fast-paced environment.
Proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite and the ability to learn company-specific manufacturing and reporting systems.
