• Continuous Improvement - Drive continuous improvement by leading process improvement projects, coordinating hands-on training for hourly personnel, and actively participating in all initiatives aimed at advancing operational efficiency and process excellence.
• Shift Continuity -Maintain shift continuity by clearly communicating area status, priorities, and open issues to oncoming supervisors through verbal handoffs, emails, or other established methods.

• Demonstrate strong interpersonal skills and the ability to read people and situations effectively
• Must be able to build trust with the team while maintaining clear boundaries and consistent accountability
• Strong communication skills

• Winning mindset with a consistently positive attitude
• Hands‑on approach with the ability to quickly learn and effectively use tools and equipment.
• Strong mechanical aptitude and troubleshooting skills
• Proven ability to translate operational direction, guidelines, and procedures into actionable results.

Work Environment
