Position Summary

The Senior Team Member Engagement Coordinator (Senior TEC) independently leads the analysis, design, administration, and continuous improvement of assigned workforce engagement programs, communication practices, and Operations follow-up controls across one or more sites or complex operational populations.

Within documented delegated limits, the Senior Coordinator may design and select engagement methods, establish work sequencing and timing, modify nonmaterial project details, resolve complex program issues, allocate approved resources within established line items, evaluate alternative responses, and recommend management action. Operations retains final authority for material business decisions.
