The successful candidate will be comfortable walking a plant floor, identifying a production bottleneck, discussing an equipment failure with maintenance personnel, reviewing labor productivity with a plant manager, analyzing a P&L, meeting with a key customer, and developing a long-term capital strategy-all within the same role. The CEO will have overall responsibility for the performance of the company, including operations, plant leadership, engineering and equipment reliability, logistics, labor management, financial performance, customer relationships, safety, quality, capital planning, and long-term operational strategy.
