- Equipment stewardship—maximize uptime through maintenance planning and routine checks.
- Reporting on production metrics, team performance, and asset health to inform decisions.
- Structured onboarding and ongoing training programs for new and experienced teammates.
- Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Manufacturing, or related field preferred; in lieu of a degree, at least 5 years of supervisory/management experience in a machine shop is required.
