  • Partner with Manufacturing Engineering and Project Management on production-related projects
  • Provide updates and insights to the Plant Manager
  • Support hiring and staffing for your team
  • Collaborate cross-functionally to solve problems and keep operations running smoothly
What Makes You Successful (Core Competencies)
