This person is the senior floor leader. They are visible across both shifts, set the tone for accountability and culture, develop frontline supervisors, and drive measurable improvement against plant targets.

  • Partner with HR to improve onboarding ramp time, and stabilize the hourly workforce
  • Champion Red Dot's cultural norms and lead by example in every interaction with the team

Safety and Quality
  • Own safety performance for the production floor - lead incident response, root cause investigations, and corrective actions
  • Reinforce quality standards in partnership with the Director of Quality; ensure containment and corrective action in every work station
  • Drive a culture where every employee is empowered and expected to stop the line for safety or quality concerns

Continuous Improvement and Lean
