• Driving operational excellence through strategic planning, standardized work, lean methods, continuous improvement, and disciplined change leadership.
• Maintaining robust paint-process controls across ELPO/e-coat, sealer, booth, and topcoat operations, including regenerative thermal oxidizer requirements, continuous temperature recording, minimum retention time, and no-visible-emissions controls.
• Leading environmental stewardship for on-site wastewater treatment and paint-related chemical, solvent, ELPO/phosphate, sludge, and wastewater streams.
• Using operating data and key performance indicators to improve volume, productivity, labor utilization, overtime, quality, service, and cost.

• Ensuring compliance with GM policies, safety requirements, environmental standards, collective bargaining agreements, and applicable laws.
• Leading response to operational disruptions, customer-impacting issues, safety or quality concerns, material-flow constraints, and environmental events-including conditions that could require process shutdown, material strip-out, or escalation.
• Managing site staffing, workforce planning, timekeeping, overtime, succession planning, talent development, performance management, preventive maintenance, and capital priorities.
• Collaborating across CCA and with engineering, quality, EHS, supply chain, HR/LR, finance, and other corporate functions to align site performance with broader business goals.
• Representing the facility in CCA leadership reviews and communicating performance, risks, opportunities, recovery plans, and resource needs.
• Promoting a customer-first mindset that supports GM dealers, ACDelco customers, accessory customers, and other CCA stakeholders.
