• Develop and maintain production reports, dashboards, and visual management boards that provide clear visibility to leadership on progress toward production goals, risks, and corrective actions. 

• Create a positive, accountable shop-floor culture through coaching, performance feedback, and corrective action, including addressing performance concerns and administering discipline when necessary. 

• Ensure compliance with EHS requirements, proactively identifying and correcting hazards and reinforcing safe work practices.

• Experience coordinating and delivering on-the-job training and coaching production teams through changing processes. 

• Strong communication skills, with the ability to provide clear direction, real-time feedback, and corrective action when required. 

• Ability to track production performance and maintain reports, dashboards, or visual management boards to communicate progress toward production goals. 

• Commitment to safety and EHS best practices in a manufacturing environment. 

• High school diploma or equivalent required. 

Bonus Qualifications:
