iSolve.\nMonitor and control scrap, material usage, and production costs to stay within budget.\nEnsure materials and supplies are available and managed efficiently, and escalate shortages to the materials team.\nOversee and manage production staff and Working Line Leads, ensuring they follow procedures and meet performance standards.\nCoach and develop Working Line Leads, including supporting their development plans.\nAddress and resolve conflicts within the team.\nIdentify areas for improvement and organize training, including cross-training needs and updated training

related field preferred, or equivalent experience.\nMinimum of 2-3 years of manufacturing experience with exposure to quality control, production planning, or manufacturing processes.\nMinimum of 2-5
