Strong project management skills with the ability to manage multiple priorities and meet tight deadlines.
Proficiency in Microsoft Office and general engineering tools.
Problem Solving and Leadership
Demonstrated ability to troubleshoot complex manufacturing issues and drive solutions quickly.
Strong communication skills with the ability to work across all levels of the organization and with external suppliers.
