Primary Responsibilities
- Sit with production, quality, and shipping leadership; document requirements in their language
- Configure Deacom production and warehouse functions: work centers, shop areas, job workflows, and lot labels
- Maintain scanning, labeling, and print infrastructure across Iron Ridge and Richfield, and stand up the same at West Bend as it opens
- Triage and resolve floor system issues; escalate infrastructure faults to the systems administrator
- Train supervisors and leads on new functionality, and write the runbook for anything they own
- Partner with continuous improvement on any process change that touches a system
- ERP configuration experience in a manufacturing plant, ideally Deacom or a comparable mid-market ERP
- Comfortable spending half a day on a production floor in PPE
- SQL literate enough to answer their own data questions
- Able to remain calm under a line-down call
- Work enters through the ticket queue and the ranked backlog; side-channel requests get redirected, politely and every time
- Nothing reaches a production system without a second reviewer and a rollback plan
- Anything you own is documented well enough for someone else to run it while you are on vacation
- Cross training with at least one other person on the team, so no system has a single keeper
- Availability for occasional after-hours work during releases and plant events, under a rotation still to be defined
- Travel between Iron Ridge, Main Street, Hartford, Richfield, and eventually West Bend as the role requires
Salary : $67,000 - $70,000
