Evaluate and improve manpower layout, 5-S standardization, and organization layout. Work with maintenance to improve machine uptime. Provide data driven analyses of manufacturing problems.

REQUIREMENTS: Degree preferred but not required. Must have a good understanding of automotive quality requirements for die cast parts. Must have at least three years of supervisory experience. Demonstrated experience in driving quality, cost, delivery times, and safety improvements. Must be committed to the use of metrics to understand production trends and weak points.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
