- Lead production planning, scheduling, and execution using SAP Business One
- Run daily production meetings and align team priorities to meet shipment goals
- Manage capacity planning across labor and equipment

- Partner daily with Quality, Engineering, and Sales to resolve issues and support MRB activity
- Ensure compliance with IPC/WHMA-A-620 and J-STD standards
- Maintain strong 5S discipline and a clean, organized production environment
- Monitor labor and material usage to optimize cost and output
- Lead backlog reviews and collaborate on production priorities
- Provide visibility to customers through coordinated delivery updates

- Lead and develop supervisors, leads, and operators
- Drive performance through a high-accountability, high-recognition culture
- Conduct performance reviews and ongoing coaching
- Support hiring, onboarding, and training of new team members
- Ensure teams are trained, prepared, and set up for success on every build

- Reduce waste, downtime, and production inefficiencies
- Recommend process, staffing, and equipment improvements to scale operations
