Experience with ERP and manufacturing cost systems; advanced Excel skills (pivot tables, lookups, data analysis) are beneficial. Attention to detail, strong organizational abilities, and the capability to meet deadlines in a fast-paced environment. Effective communication and collaboration skills to work with cross-functional teams in an on-site manufacturing setting.
