- Partner with Sales, Engineering, and corporate leadership to ensure customer satisfaction and operational alignment.
- Build succession plans, coaching and developing talent to meet current and future business needs.
Qualifications
- Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Business, or a related field (Master’s preferred).
- 10+ years of progressive leadership experience in manufacturing or industrial operations.
- Background in industrial manufacturing; experience in welding environments is strongly preferred.
- Demonstrated success in P&L ownership and delivering operational and financial results.
- Strong leadership presence with the ability to inspire, motivate, and develop high-performing teams.
- Proven experience in Lean/Six Sigma and operational excellence initiatives.
- Excellent problem-solving, decision-making, and communication skills.
