Standardize production methods to deliver consistency, scalability, and superior quality
Conduct deep-dive analyses (time studies, process mapping, ergonomics) to unlock productivity gains and waste reduction
Build and maintain robust process documentation systems aligned with best practices

Problem Solving & Continuous Improvement

Investigate production issues, identify root causes, and implement sustainable corrective actions
Champion Lean, Six Sigma, and WCM principles to build a culture of continuous improvement
Drive initiatives that deliver tangible results in cost, quality, and efficiency

Cross-Functional Impact

Serve as a technical advisor to Sales, Customer Service, and Production
Support customer needs including product configurations, order specifications, and on-site technical assessments
Collaborate with Purchasing to evaluate suppliers and strengthen the supply chain

Project & Operations Leadership

Own and execute capital projects (Capex) from concept to commissioning

Proficiency with AutoCAD and Microsoft Office
Strong analytical mindset with a passion for problem-solving and continuous improvement
Excellent communication skills and ability to influence across teams
