- Oversee electro-mechanical manufacturing activities, including mechanical assembly, electrical panel wiring, system integration, inspection, testing, packaging, and shipment readiness.
- Ensure products are manufactured in accordance with drawings, electrical schematics, bills of material, work instructions, quality requirements, and customer specifications.
- Manage production performance through metrics such as schedule attainment, productivity, labor efficiency, first-pass yield, rework, scrap, overtime, and on-time delivery.
- Lead Lean and Kaizen events using tools such as 5S, standard work, visual management, line balancing, value-stream mapping, root-cause analysis, and waste elimination.
- Optimize production cells, staffing, equipment, material flow, floor space, and work processes to improve safety, quality, capacity, and efficiency.
- Partner with Inventory Control and Supply Chain to ensure material availability, inventory accuracy, proper staging, and timely shortage resolution.
- Ensure accurate and timely ERP transactions for work orders, material movements, labor reporting, production completions, and inventory adjustments.
- Partner with Human Resources on hiring, training, performance evaluations, employee development, discipline, and termination processes.
- Ensure compliance with company safety requirements, quality requirements and applicable regulatory requirements.
- Coordinate equipment, facility, and building-maintenance needs with internal departments and external service providers.

- Ability to read and interpret mechanical drawings, electrical schematics, blueprints, bills of material, specifications, and work instructions.
- Proven experience implementing Lean manufacturing principles and leading Kaizen events within Schneider Performance System, or a comparable Lean operating system.
- Strong operations-management experience encompassing production scheduling, capacity planning, inventory control, labor management, cost control, quality, and safety.
- Proficiency with ERP and production-planning systems, including work orders, bills of material, routings, inventory transactions, labor reporting, and scheduling.
- Self-starter with demonstrated ownership, sound judgment, strong problem-solving skills, and the ability to drive results with limited direction.
- Strong leadership, communication, delegation, and cross-functional collaboration skills.
- Experience working within an ISO 9001 quality-management system preferred.
- Proficiency with Microsoft Office applications.
- Overtime and occasional travel may be required based on production demands, customer requirements, training, project-site visits, or other business needs.
