  • Lead and support R&D initiatives on yield variance using scientific principles and advanced data analytics.
  • Identify and drive implementation of R&D initiatives that directly improve OEE, yield, labor productivity, and overhead absorption through rigorous technical analysis and advanced manufacturing integration.
  • Drive waste elimination and by-product optimization through innovative technical solutions.
  • Use standard productivity metrics and benchmarking across plants to evaluate the success of newly adopted technologies against established KPIs.
  • Establish technical cost baselines and performance scorecards for R&D-driven oilseeds processing operational initiatives.
  • Ensure R&D lead initiatives identify high level countermeasures to ensure sustainment for project scale up. 
  • Partner with Finance and Operations to validate savings, prevent double counting, and track sustainment of R&D driven initiatives.
  • Network with similar oilseeds processing locations to promote replication, implementation and sustainment of high-impact R&D initiatives.

  • 10+ years of experience in oilseeds processing or similar manufacturing.
  • Deep technical and scientific understanding of oilseeds process manufacturing, reaction engineering, thermodynamics, and scale-up methodologies.
  • Financial understanding of oilseeds processing operational KPIs and their impact on P&Ls to support R&D driven initiatives.
