We’re seeking a senior manufacturing leader to own and elevate production performance across safety, quality, delivery, cost, and people. This role is fully onsite and highly visible, with end‑to‑end accountability for daily execution and continuous improvement in a fast‑paced, regulated manufacturing environment.

This is a hands‑on leadership position for someone who thrives on the floor, leads through data and accountability, and consistently delivers results through strong teams and disciplined execution.

Driving continuous improvement using Lean / Six Sigma methods, moving the organization from reactive to structured problem solving
Root cause analysis and corrective action ownership for quality, delivery, or performance issues
Ownership of production KPIs and dashboards, using data to anticipate issues and drive decisions—not just report outcomes
Cross‑functional partnership with Quality, Engineering, Supply Chain, and NPI to scale production reliably
Ensuring full compliance with ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 45001 requirements
Leading production readiness and execution for new product introductions

What Success Looks Like

A safer operation with improving safety metrics and strong employee ownership
Higher throughput and schedule attainment with controlled labor and overtime
Improved quality performance with sustained corrective actions
Engaged, developed leaders who run disciplined daily operations
A production organization that plans ahead rather than reacts

Strong floor presence with the ability to lead through clarity, urgency, and follow‑through
Demonstrated success improving safety, quality, delivery, and cost in fast‑moving environments
Advanced problem‑solving and decision‑making skills

Prior hands‑on experience leading plant or production operations

Preferred
