Continuous Improvement Specialist

Job Description

Job Description

Build Better. Start with People.

At Guarantee, Continuous Improvement (CI) starts with a simple mindset: Fix What Frustrates You.

We believe the people closest to the work understand the work best. Our responsibility is to listen, remove barriers, improve systems, and create better ways of working.

We're looking for a Continuous Improvement Specialist who can help bring that philosophy to life across our organization.

This role is part facilitator, part coach, part industrial engineer, and part relationship builder. You'll work in the field, office, and manufacturing environments to identify sources of frustration, improve processes, and help teams solve problems together. You'll have the autonomy to identify opportunities and the support to bring the right people together to solve them.

As Guarantee expands its manufacturing and prefabrication capabilities, you'll also help introduce proven continuous improvement principles and tools that support safer work, stronger systems, and better outcomes.

This isn't about implementing a program. It's about helping people build better.

What You'll Do

Listen to the People Closest to the Work

Spend time where work happens. Build relationships with field leaders, project teams, support departments, and manufacturing partners. Learn how work actually gets done and identify opportunities to make it safer, simpler, and more effective.

Facilitate Improvement

Lead improvement workshops, process reviews, and problem-solving sessions that bring together the right people to improve the work.

Help teams uncover root causes, test solutions, and implement practical improvements that reduce frustration and strengthen performance.

Build Continuous Improvement Capability

Help operationalize CI and develop champions throughout the organization to support workflow design, production planning, material movement, quality, and operational effectiveness.

Provide coaching, training, and practical tools that make improvement accessible to everyone, regardless of role or experience level.

Turn Ideas into Action

Help teams move from identifying problems to implementing solutions.

Track improvement initiatives, capture lessons learned, and help successful ideas spread across the organization.

What Success Looks Like

Success in this role is not measured by the number of events facilitated or reports generated.

Success means:

• Partners feel heard.
• Frustrations are reduced.
• Improvements are measurable and sustained over time. That could look like reducing rework, improved workflow reliability, fewer handoff delays
• Work becomes safer and easier to execute.
• Teams solve problems more effectively.

What You Bring

• Facilitation - You bring people together, guide productive conversations, and move teams toward action.
• Systems Thinking - You see connections across people, processes, tools, and outcomes, and understand how work flows-and where it gets stuck.
• Curiosity and Humility - You ask thoughtful questions, seek to understand before solving, and are comfortable not having all the answers.
• Problem Solving - You identify root causes, organize information, and help teams make practical, data-informed decisions.
• Relationship Building - You build trust across all levels of the organization, from field teams to executives.

Qualifications

• Experience in Continuous Improvement, Operations, Manufacturing, Industrial Engineering, QA/QC, or related fields.
• Working knowledge of Lean, Kaizen, PDCA, A3 Thinking, or similar improvement methodologies.
• Experience facilitating workshops, process improvement efforts, or operational initiatives.
• Construction, manufacturing, or industrial experience is beneficial.
• Bachelor's degree preferred. Equivalent experience will be considered.
