You will work on projects that result in a safer work environment, a higher quality product, a more efficient process, and a positive impact on the company's bottom line.

Responsibilities

• Examine equipment, processes, operations, and procedures to identify improvement opportunities in areas of safety, quality, throughput, and cost
• Implement changes and modify operation standards

Qualifications

Required Qualifications:

• BS in Mechanical, Manufacturing, or Industrial Engineering, or combined related experience required

• Excellent verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to understand and document complex process interactions
• Computer literate, including Microsoft Office

Preferred Qualifications (nice to have, not required):
