Required
The below is a starting point. We always make space for exceptional people, so if you don't fit this role exactly, tell us where you would.
You've managed multiple plant managers or site leaders at once, holding each to the same production and quality bar.
You've owned plant logistics, inbound materials, in-plant flow, and outbound shipping, not just the production line itself.
You've worked cross-functionally with manufacturing engineering, supply chain, and program teams to keep multiple plants running as intended.
You've caught a struggling site early and fixed it before it slipped a build or shipment schedule.
You write clearly enough to turn a fleet-wide production issue into a decision a CEO or COO can make in one read.
Bonus: Multi-site manufacturing operations (semiconductor, EV, battery, or industrial equipment). Supply chain and logistics network design. Lean or Six Sigma programs run at scale. P&L ownership across multiple facilities.

Work in non-climate-controlled environments, including active construction areas, data halls, electrical and mechanical rooms, and outdoor spaces. Temperatures can be high or low, and conditions can be humid, loud or dusty.
Lift, carry, push and pull up to 40 pounds on your own.
Sit, stand, walk, kneel, bend and crouch for long periods, including full shifts on your feet.
Wear the required personal protective equipment (PPE), such as hard hats, safety glasses, steel-toed boots, gloves and hearing protection, and follow site safety rules.
