• Associate’s or Bachelor’s degree required; a degree in Business, Operations, Supply Chain, or related field preferred.
• Ability to work 1st shift production schedule (Mon‑Fri from 6:00am to 2:30pm).
• Demonstrated ability to prioritize work, make sound decisions under pressure, and adapt quickly in a fast‑paced manufacturing environment.
• Demonstrated ability to develop and engage team members through consistent coaching, real‑time feedback, and performance discussions that drive accountability, continuous improvement, and professional growth.
