Full Job Description

Ventek Solutions (Ventek) is a leading manufacturer specializing in engineered shape molded foam components, protective packaging, and multi-material assembly solutions.

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.
