• Proven ability to drive performance and cultural change
• Experience in fabrication, welding, or assembly environments preferred
• Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Operations, or related field (preferred)

What Sets You Apart

• You lead from the floor-not from behind a desk
• You take ownership of results: safety, delivery, productivity, and cost
• You bring solutions, not problems (root cause + action)
• You develop strong teams and future leaders
• You operate with urgency, discipline, and accountability

Work Environment & Schedule

• Requires visibility across day and night shifts
• Occasional extended hours and weekend support during peak periods
