Candidates from other complex, high-volume manufacturing industries with transferable experience are encouraged to apply. Career progression from hands-on manufacturing roles into increasing levels of leadership is highly valued. Demonstrated ability to lead large teams, manage KPIs, develop people, and deliver measurable operational improvements. A self-driven leadership style with a bias for action, continuous improvement mindset, and ability to anticipate what's ahead—key behaviors identified for success in this position.
