• Proven ability to lead production teams and drive performance, accountability, and collaboration on the shop floor.
• Solid understanding of production planning, workflow management, WIP tracking, and quality standards.
• Experience acting as a key communicator between the production flow and upper management.
• Analytical mindset: comfortable interpreting production metrics and using data to guide decisions.
• Familiarity with molding or manufacturing electrical connectors is a significant plus.
