- Identify, communicate, and implement process improvement opportunities
- Coordinate with internal teams including production, maintenance, QC, purchasing, and sales
- Keep the Plant Manager informed on workload, schedules, challenges, and special projects
- Foster a culture of fairness, trust, safety, and quality
Leadership & Team Responsibilities
- Ensure equipment is operating properly and employees are working safely
- Act as the communication bridge between the Plant Manager, Supervisors, and Team Leads
- Handle employee relations with professionalism, confidentiality, and fairness
- Proactively identify outstanding tasks and coordinate execution with leadership teams
What We’re Looking For
- Proven ability to collaborate effectively with plant, office, and management teams
- Strong communication skills (verbal and written)
- Bilingual in English & Spanish (required)
- Degree in Industrial, Manufacturing, or Engineering preferred
- Strong computer skills including MS Office, AutoCAD, and AI tools
- Working knowledge of ISO 9001 and quality processes
- Ability to prioritize, multitask, and manage competing demands
- Adaptable, flexible, and comfortable in a fast-paced manufacturing environment
- Strong leadership, problem-solving, and decision-making skills
- Self-driven with a commitment to continuous learning and improvement
- High attention to detail with a strong focus on quality and accountability
Why This Role?
- Clear path to Plant Manager
- High-impact leadership role
- Hands-on environment where your decisions matter
- Stable manufacturing operation with growth opportunity
