  • Maintain accurate tracking spreadsheets
  • Provide immediate support to the production line as needed
  • Collaborate across all levels of the organization

Core hours are 2nd shift, with overtime and occasional 1st or 3rd shift coverage required based on production demands.
Qualifications/Requirements
What We're Looking For
  • Bachelor's degree, or an equivalent combination of education and experience
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills
  • Solid planning, organizational, and analytical abilities
  • Comfort with numbers and basic mathematical applications
  • Proficiency in Microsoft Office (Excel especially)
  • A proactive, problem-solving mindset
  • Manufacturing experience is a plus
