- Drive accountability, communication, employee engagement, and continuous improvement throughout the facility.
- Take ownership of plant performance and proactively address operational challenges.
- Lead the planning and execution of large capital equipment investments and automation projects.
- Partner with Engineering, Maintenance, Operations, and outside vendors on equipment selection, installation, commissioning, and implementation.
- Ensure capital projects are executed effectively against scope, schedule, budget, and expected return.
- Identify opportunities to increase manufacturing automation, capacity, throughput, quality, and labor efficiency.
- Lead plant layout, equipment, workflow, and process-improvement initiatives.
- Drive Lean manufacturing and continuous-improvement initiatives across the operation.
- Develop and monitor key operational metrics and establish clear accountability for results.
- Ensure production requirements are achieved while maintaining strong safety and quality standards.
- Partner cross-functionally with Engineering, Supply Chain, Quality, Finance, HR, and senior leadership.
- Develop operating plans and capital priorities that support both immediate production requirements and long-term growth.
Build organizational capability through coaching, succession planning, and leadership development.
