Full Job Description

Ventek Solutions (Ventek) is a leading manufacturer specializing in engineered shape molded foam components, protective packaging, and multi-material assembly solutions. The organization helps customers address complex challenges in product protection, component light-weighting, insulation, and design simplification. Ventek’s services span a variety of industries, including construction, automotive, electronics, medical, and more. Ventek Solutions leverages creative design, thoughtful engineering, and meticulous program management to deliver customized solutions. Ventek operates 9 plants in the US and Mexico with corporate headquarters in Charleston, SC.

In 2024, Black Diamond Capital Management acquired the Protective Solutions segment of Sonoco Products Company, rebranding the business as Ventek Solutions LLC. This acquisition encompassed the existing manufacturing footprint along with the embedded design engineering, program management, and commercial resources. As Ventek Solutions, we are dedicated to maintaining our advanced capabilities in creative design, thoughtful engineering, meticulous program management, operational excellence, and unwavering commitment to customer satisfaction.

The Continuous Improvement Specialist is responsible for driving the deployment, execution, and sustainability of Lean Manufacturing and Business Process Improvement initiatives across operations and supporting functions. This role partners with production, engineering, quality, supply chain, maintenance, finance, customer service, and leadership teams to improve safety, quality, delivery, cost, inventory performance, administrative efficiency, and employee engagement through structured continuous improvement methodologies.

The ideal candidate combines operational improvement expertise with strong business process optimization capabilities to eliminate waste, improve workflow efficiency, standardize processes, strengthen operational systems, and support a culture of operational excellence and data-driven decision making. This role will lead Kaizen activities, facilitate cross-functional process improvements, develop performance metrics, and support enterprise-wide transformation initiatives.

This role will be based onsite (no remote) in one of our domestic plant locations, preferably in Mt. Pleasant TN. Up to 50% travel may be required to support multiple facilities, audits, or training initiatives.

Develop, implement, and sustain standardized work, visual management systems, process controls, layered audits, and best operational practices.
Analyze operational and business performance data, monitor KPIs, and develop reporting tools to identify trends, gaps, and continuous improvement opportunities.
Partner with production, engineering, quality, supply chain, maintenance, and leadership teams to improve process flow, system utilization, and operational performance.
Support ERP/MRP process improvements, data accuracy initiatives, and opportunities for automation and digital process enhancement.
Coach, mentor, and train employees and leaders on Lean methodologies, process improvement tools, and continuous improvement principles.
Lead change management efforts to ensure successful implementation and sustainment of operational and business process improvements.
Conduct process audits, validate improvement sustainability, and support compliance with operational, quality, and customer requirements.
Support strategic operational goals, new product launches, capacity improvements, and continuous improvement roadmaps while tracking project savings and performance results.
