• Ability to balance strategic planning with the day-to-day needs of an active manufacturing operation.


• Strong communication skills and the ability to work effectively with employees at all levels of the organization.


• A practical, hands-on approach and willingness to spend time in the manufacturing environment.

Preferred Qualifications
