  • Provide hands-on support to sites, including the ability to lead or support changeover (SMED) improvement exercises where required
  • Coach and train site teams in Lean tools and CI methodologies to build internal capability
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams (engineering, operations, quality, supply chain) to deliver end-to-end improvements
  • Support standardization and best practice sharing across sites
  • Own the CI savings delivery for the ETS Americas, track and validate savings against forecasted targets.

Requirements:
  • Strong working knowledge of Lean Manufacturing principles and tools (e.g., SMED, 5S, VSM, root cause analysis, standard work)
  • Demonstrated ability to identify and implement process improvements in a manufacturing environment
  • Experience leading CI workshops and engaging cross-functional teams
  • Ability to operate at a GOLD level within CI standards, with a mindset for continuous development
  • Hands-on, practical approach with the ability to work both strategically and on the shop floor

  • Comfortable working across multiple sites and cultures
  • Able to balance strategic framework development with hands-on execution
  • Strong problem-solving capability with attention to detail
  • Strong communication skills
  • Bilingual preferred (Spanish, French, German)

Development:
  • Opportunity to progress to higher levels within the CI framework through training and practical application
  • Exposure to global Operational Excellence initiatives and best practices

Additional Notes:
  • The role requires flexibility to support site-based improvement activities, including hands-on involvement in manufacturing processes where needed
