• Identify maintenance concerns and work with the appropriate teams to get issues resolved.
• Accurately complete shift production reporting, including production, scrap, downtime, labor, and other required information.
• Conduct regular floor walk‑throughs to verify part quality, production performance, safety, and overall operational effectiveness.
• Consistently apply company policies, procedures, and plant expectations.
