You will work 100% at the line in a highly automated, fast-paced factory, coordinating people, parts, and processes across departments such as materials, logistics, warehouse, aluminum, caliper machining, and caliper assembly.

• Work 100% at the line in a hands-on capacity, supporting production activities and filling in on the line as needed when staffing is short.
• Coordinate and prioritize production orders, deciding which parts run in what sequence to meet customer and internal priorities.
• Use lineside boards to plan and communicate the daily schedule, run lineside meetings, update schedules, and track completion of runs.
• Ensure the line has the correct parts and materials for each run, and pull parts for the team or line when required.
• Oversee and participate in the training of new employees, providing ongoing coaching and support for existing team members.
• Enforce proper use of personal protective equipment (PPE) and promote a safe working environment at all times.
• Communicate effectively with supervisors regarding staffing needs, production status, and any issues affecting the line.
• Maintain clear communication between shifts by attending shift handoff meetings and providing accurate updates on line status and priorities.
• Monitor and address employee or associate issues on the line and escalate concerns to supervisors as appropriate.
• Perform line checks using gauges, calipers, and other measuring tools to verify product quality and adherence to specifications.
• Ensure the team follows FIFO (first in, first out) processes for materials and products.
• Support and drive implementation of process improvements, continuous improvement initiatives, and 5S practices on the line.
• Enter production and operational data into computer systems, including systems such as Leading to Lean or similar ERP tools.
• For flex positions, cover any position on the line as needed, including general associate, machine operator, and line leader roles to support call-off coverage.
• Oversee assembly lines in a clean-room type environment, including use of hair nets, beard nets, and white lab coats when required.
• Oversee machining areas with CNC machines, ensuring safe and efficient operation in a high-automation environment.
