Contribute to the creation and maintenance of North America and site-level standards for MES and control systems, equipment, and programming practices.
Support plant-wide standards for control systems equipment and drive adherence to these standards for new equipment purchases.
Assist site resources with the design and integration of controls and MES for capital projects and for replacing obsolete controls, sharing best practices across locations.
Implement upgrades that improve automation, safety, and security across MES and control systems.
Develop and maintain a consolidated inventory of control systems and related equipment for all North American plants.
Lead teams and initiatives focused on improving automation and leveraging advanced technologies for process optimization.
Collaborate with stakeholders to integrate MES with ERP systems, including transitions to SAP S/4HANA, using Restful APIs for key data such as schedules, counts, and machine or labor hours.
Support integration with industrial control systems, including PLCs and related platforms, to ensure seamless data flow between shop floor and MES.
Travel to manufacturing sites as needed (approximately 25%) to support implementations, upgrades, and cross-site projects.

Essential Skills

35 years of experience in industrial manufacturing with a focus on controls and MES integration.
