• Lead initiatives to optimize shop layout, workflow, and equipment utilization.
• Inventory and Supply Chain Support

• Contribute to supplier relations strategy (potential overlap with purchasing roles).
• Implement and sustain a Plan for Every Part (PFEP) to ensure materials are consistently available.
• Automation and Technology Integration

• Design, specify, or source automation solutions that increase consistency, reduce errors, and save labor.

• Culture, Teamwork and Leadership
• Act as the Lean/5S champion across the organization, building camaraderie and a strong sense of teamwork.
• Be willing to have hard conversations when necessary and always follow through on commitments.

A qualified candidate has:

• Bachelor’s degree in Industrial, Mechanical, or Manufacturing Engineering (or related field).
• Proven experience applying Lean principles, 5S methodology, Kaizen events, and root cause analysis.
