Full Job Description

Jedele Consulting is expanding its network of independent manufacturing and operational excellence consultants to support client engagements on a 1099 project basis.

We are looking for experienced, hands-on professionals who specialize in improving manufacturing performance, strengthening shop floor execution, and helping organizations solve real operational challenges.

This is ideal for consultants, former plant leaders, operations professionals, Lean practitioners, production specialists, and continuous improvement experts who are open to project-based work.

About the Role

Jedele Consulting supports businesses with practical, results-focused consulting. We are looking to connect with independent consultants who can step into manufacturing environments, work directly with leadership and shop floor teams, identify performance issues, and help implement measurable improvements.

This is not a traditional full-time employee role. This is a 1099 independent contractor opportunity, with project work based on client needs, consultant expertise, availability, and geographic fit.

Areas of Expertise We Are Seeking

We are especially interested in consultants with experience in one or more of the following areas:

OEE improvement
Production performance improvement
Lean manufacturing
Kaizen events
Shop floor execution
Standard work
Bottleneck reduction
Continuous improvement
Manufacturing operations
Plant performance improvement
Process improvement
Waste reduction
Labor efficiency
Downtime reduction
Throughput improvement
Quality and scrap reduction
Maintenance and reliability improvement
Operational turnaround

Ideal Candidate Background

Strong candidates may come from backgrounds such as:

Plant Manager
Operations Manager
Production Manager
Lean Consultant
Continuous Improvement Manager
Operational Excellence Manager
Manufacturing Engineer
Industrial Engineer
Kaizen Facilitator
Value Stream Manager
Maintenance or Reliability Leader
Shop Floor Supervisor
Director of Operations
Independent Manufacturing Consultant

What We Are Looking For

The ideal consultant is practical, credible, and comfortable working directly in manufacturing environments. We are not looking for people who only want to produce reports from a conference room. We are looking for people who can walk the floor, listen to operators, identify what is really happening, and help clients make meaningful operational improvements.

You should be comfortable working with a mix of executives, plant leaders, supervisors, operators, maintenance teams, quality teams, and production employees.

Responsibilities May Include

Assessing manufacturing operations and identifying improvement opportunities
Reviewing OEE, downtime, throughput, scrap, labor efficiency, and production performance
Supporting Lean and continuous improvement initiatives
Facilitating Kaizen events or rapid improvement workshops
Helping implement standard work and visual management systems
Working with shop floor teams to improve daily execution
Identifying bottlenecks and production constraints
Supporting operational turnaround or stabilization efforts
Creating practical action plans for client leadership
Helping clients move from recommendations to implementation
Supporting project-based consulting engagements as needed

Qualifications

Significant experience in manufacturing, operations, production, Lean, continuous improvement, or operational excellence
Hands-on experience improving performance in a plant, production, or shop floor environment
Ability to work directly with employees at all levels of an organization
Strong communication and problem-solving skills
Comfortable working independently as a 1099 consultant
Ability to travel to client sites as needed, depending on project location
Prior consulting experience is helpful, but not required
Experience with measurable improvement in OEE, throughput, downtime, scrap, quality, labor efficiency, or delivery performance is strongly preferred

Work Arrangement

1099 independent contractor
Project-based consulting work
Engagements vary based on client needs and consultant availability
Remote, hybrid, and on-site work may vary by project
Travel may be required depending on client location
Flexible/project-based schedule

Compensation

Compensation will vary based on the project, scope of work, consultant experience, and client engagement. Consultants may be considered for hourly, daily, or project-based rates depending on the assignment.

How to Apply

Please submit your resume or a brief summary of your manufacturing, operations, Lean, OEE, production, Kaizen, or shop floor improvement experience.

In your application, please include:

Your primary areas of expertise
Types of manufacturing environments you have worked in
Examples of operational improvements you have led or supported
Whether you are currently open to 1099 project-based consulting work
Your geographic location and travel availability
Your preferred hourly, daily, or project-based rate, if applicable

Jedele Consulting is looking to build long-term relationships with strong independent consultants who can help clients improve performance in a practical, measurable way.

Pay: $75,000.00 - $200,000.00 per year

Work Location: On the road
