- Support and advance our PBM culture by helping individuals understand how they can create value and contribute to business success.
- Build team capability through coaching, development planning, regular feedback and effective performance management.
- Develop a strong safety culture by ensuring work is planned and executed to high standards.
- Work closely with Operations, Reliability, Engineering and contractors to coordinate resources and deliver safe, efficient outcomes.
- Support the transition from reactive ways of working toward a more organized, planned and reliability-focused operation.
- Identify opportunities to improve team effectiveness, plant reliability and operational performance.
- Help attract, select and retain talented individuals who can contribute to the long-term success of the business.
Who You Are (Basic Qualifications)

- Experience working in a manufacturing, industrial, process, logistics or other operational environment.
- Experience supporting safe work practices and coordinating people, resources or competing operational priorities.
- Experience partnering across functions to resolve issues, implement improvements or support organizational change.
What Will Put You Ahead
- Experience leading or coordinating teams in a maintenance, reliability, engineering, manufacturing or 24/7 operational environment.
