This leader will drive safety, quality, on‑time delivery, and continuous improvement initiatives while maintaining strong communication across shifts and departments.

This position reports directly to the Director of Manufacturing, who oversees day shift operations. Strong cross‑shift alignment and communication will be critical to success.
