• Ability to read and interpret technical drawings, P&IDs, and specifications

Preferred:

• Background in supplier quality, inspection, or expediting

• Strong communication skills and comfort working directly with vendor teams on the shop floor
• Self-starter who can independently plan site visits, prioritize work, and follow through on issues

If you enjoy being on the shop floor, solving problems in real time, and owning both quality and delivery outcomes, this is a great opportunity to have a visible impact in a high-accountability, field-based role.
