• Communicate production updates, staffing needs, and operational concerns to supervisors.
• Support continuous improvement initiatives to improve efficiency, quality, and workflow.
• Help onboard and train new employees while encouraging teamwork and accountability.

Qualifications

• Previous experience in manufacturing, assembly, or a related production environment.
• Prior experience leading, training, or mentoring employees preferred.

• Strong organizational, communication, and problem-solving skills.
• Ability to prioritize tasks and coordinate work in a fast-paced environment.
• Strong attention to detail and commitment to quality and safety.
