Foster a culture of accountability, employee engagement, safety, collaboration, and continuous improvement.
Partner with Human Resources on workforce planning, succession planning, leadership development, and retention initiatives.

Financial & Operational Performance

Support operational budgeting, capital planning, cost control, and resource optimization initiatives.
Analyze operational data and manufacturing metrics to improve productivity, capacity utilization, and profitability.
Support investments in manufacturing technology, automation, equipment, and facility improvements.

Safety, Compliance & Risk Management

Ensure compliance with all applicable federal, state, local, and industry regulations including OSHA, EPA, and aerospace customer requirements.
Champion environmental health and safety initiatives across all operations.
Identify operational risks and implement proactive mitigation strategies.

Excellent strategic thinking, problem-solving, and decision-making abilities.
Strong communication and relationship-building skills with executives, customers, and frontline employees.
Proven ability to drive organizational change and operational transformation.
