• Collaborate with teams across the Americas and Australia to align local procedures with the global process framework.
• Travel occasionally to sites across the Americas and Australia, as required.

Qualifications

Must Have

• Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Industrial or Process Engineering, Operations Management, or a related field.
• 7+ years of experience in process engineering, operational excellence, business process management, or continuous improvement, ideally within a complex, multi-site, or global organization.
• Strong knowledge of Lean methodologies and hands-on experience with tools such as value stream mapping, SIPOC, root cause analysis, A3 problem-solving, and Kaizen.
• Demonstrated experience designing and documenting structured processes using inputs and outputs, RACI matrices, swimlanes, or process flows.

• Experience leading change management initiatives and encouraging teams to adopt new ways of working.
• Working experience with ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 management systems, including writing compliant processes, supporting audits, and managing corrective actions.
• Experience defining KPIs and process performance metrics and using data to support decisions.
• Strong facilitation and stakeholder-management skills, with the ability to lead cross-functional workshops across teams and time zones.

Nice To Have

• P.Eng. or PE designation, or eligibility to obtain one.
• Lean Six Sigma Black Belt or Green Belt with significant project experience.
• Certified Internal Auditor or Lead Auditor certification in ISO 9001 and/or ISO 14001.
• Experience building or harmonizing an integrated management system across multiple sites or legal entities.

• Clarity and discipline: You communicate clearly, document carefully, and simplify processes wherever possible.
• Influence without authority: You build trust and drive adoption through partnership across functions, cultures, and locations.
• Outcome focus: You care about whether a process works, not simply whether it exists, and you use measurable results to assess its success.
• Continuous-improvement mindset: You take a practical and curious approach to identifying problems and helping teams develop sustainable solutions.
