Support scheduling execution and proactively communicate production risks or delays
Lead continuous improvement efforts focused on efficiency, organization, and operational consistency
Maintain a safe, organized, and productive manufacturing environment
Support hiring, onboarding, and workforce development initiatives

Qualifications

Proven ability to lead teams, manage priorities, and drive accountability
