What We're Looking For
Beyond the technical qualifications, we are looking for someone who brings a strong sense of ownership and personal drive.
The strongest candidates will be people who
Take initiative. You see a problem or an opportunity and go after it rather than waiting for someone else to assign it.
Make confident decisions. You are comfortable gathering the facts, using good judgment, making a decision, and moving forward.
Are motivated by results. You enjoy setting a goal, working through obstacles, and seeing measurable improvement.
Get into the process. You are curious about how equipment and manufacturing processes work and want to understand why something is happening, not simply fix the immediate symptom.
Lead and influence others. You can bring people together around a problem, communicate clearly, and help move a team toward a solution.
Own problems through resolution. You are willing to follow an issue from identification and root cause through implementation and sustained results.
Are self-motivated. You can recognize what needs to be done, prioritize your work, and keep things moving without constant direction.

Success in this role will require the ability to
Plan and Organize
Demonstrate Good Judgment
Drive Results
Coach and Support
Build Trusting Relationships
Requirements
Four (4) year degree in a relevant technical field.
At least one (1) year experience in a manufacturing environment or its equivalent.
