• Drive continuous improvement initiatives focused on productivity, cost, and quality
• Plan and manage workforce and materials to support fluctuating production needs
• Maintain detailed documentation aligned with industry regulations and standards

Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Partner with internal teams to align production activities with broader project goals
• Participate in planning meetings to support strategic and operational decision-making
• Mentor and develop team members to enhance skill sets and improve shop floor performance
