Drive Strategic Manufacturing Initiatives
Own the development, prioritization, and execution of the annual capital expenditure (CapEx) portfolio.
Develop business cases, perform ROI analysis, and manage capital projects from concept through implementation.
Create manufacturing strategies that support capacity expansion, automation, scalability, and future growth.
Deliver Operational Performance
Lead year-over-year productivity improvement initiatives to offset inflation and improve profitability.
Improve manufacturing processes through new technologies, automation, and process optimization.
Support new product introductions and successfully scale development projects into production.
Manage process changes, product non-conformances, and manufacturing improvements.
Collaborate Across the Business
Partner with Operations, Engineering, R D, Quality, Maintenance, Production, and Commercial teams to achieve business objectives.
Utilize project management tools and methodologies to manage timelines, budgets, resources, and project deliverables.
Communicate effectively with stakeholders at all levels of the organization.

8+ years of engineering leadership or management experience within a manufacturing environment.
Proven experience leading teams and driving operational improvements.
Strong project management, prioritization, and organizational skills.
Excellent problem-solving and root cause analysis capabilities.
Experience with Lean Manufacturing principles and continuous improvement methodologies.
Knowledge of SPC (Statistical Process Control) and quality systems.
Strong communication and leadership skills.
Preferred Experience
Manufacturing experience in chemicals, plastics, coatings, converting, laminating, printing, embossing, or related process industries.
Experience with ISO 9000 or similar quality management systems.
Knowledge of process control systems and automation technologies.
Experience managing capital projects and manufacturing scale-up initiatives.
