Strong understanding of manufacturing processes with the ability to interpret engineering drawings and bills of materials (BOMs).
Ability to analyze capacity and develop practical changes to layouts, work methods, and material movement.
Demonstrated ability to coach and influence supervisors and manufacturing teams in lean and continuous improvement practices.
Comfort working directly on the manufacturing floor in a hands-on, leadership-focused role.
