• Stay close to the work and the customer by listening to plant, supplier, and customer feedback and turning it into practical actions that remove obstacles and protect delivery.
• Use fact-based problem solving and continuous improvement to drive root cause analysis, 8D discipline, Kaizen actions, and measurable follow-up.
• Win as one team by building trust across customer, plant, engineering, and supply chain partners and keeping communication open and respectful.

Nice to Have
