Key Responsibilities Include:

  • Support strong shift start-ups, scheduling, staffing, and material setup to minimize downtime
  • Drive production efficiency and meet output goals
  • Apply strong mechanical aptitude to identify issues, perform basic troubleshooting, and understand equipment operation
  • Partner with Quality Control to enforce and maintain product quality standards (QFS)
  • Lead preventative maintenance efforts and respond to equipment breakdowns
  • Enforce and promote plant safety programs and safe work practices
  • Identify, communicate, and implement process improvement opportunities

  • Foster a culture of fairness, trust, safety, and quality

Leadership & Team Responsibilities

  • Ensure equipment is operating properly and employees are working safely
  • Act as the communication bridge between the Plant Manager, Supervisors, and Team Leads
  • Handle employee relations with professionalism, confidentiality, and fairness
  • Proactively identify outstanding tasks and coordinate execution with leadership teams

What We're Looking For

  • Proven ability to collaborate effectively with plant, office, and management teams
  • Strong communication skills (verbal and written)
  • Bilingual in English & Spanish (required)
  • Degree in Industrial, Manufacturing, or Engineering preferred
  • Strong computer skills including MS Office, AutoCAD, and AI tools
  • Working knowledge of ISO 9001 and quality processes
  • Ability to prioritize, multitask, and manage competing demands
  • Adaptable, flexible, and comfortable in a fast-paced manufacturing environment
  • Strong leadership, problem-solving, and decision-making skills
  • Self-driven with a commitment to continuous learning and improvement
  • High attention to detail with a strong focus on quality and accountability

Why This Role?

  • Clear path to Plant Manager
  • High-impact leadership role
  • Hands-on environment where your decisions matter
  • Stable manufacturing operation with growth opportunity
