  • Establish and reinforce control plans, daily standard work, and visual management around shop KPIs.
  • Lead measurement standardization and systemic change management to support Clearwater site KPIs and problem-solving processes, including root cause corrective action.
  • Develop a strong culture of problem solving and operational ownership by engaging teams directly in identifying waste, closing gaps, and implementing countermeasures.
  • Participate in Plant Leader staff meetings and communicate OE operating priorities, performance, risks, and recovery plans.
  • Support internal capacity and growth planning activities to ensure the organization is positioned to meet customer demand.
