Six Sigma / Lean Manufacturing certification or equivalent experience. Experience with project engineering, CAPEX implementation, and vendor management. Familiarity with safety management systems (e.g., PSM, HAZOP, MOC processes). Compensation and Benefits Competitive base salary (commensurate with experience). Performance-based bonus.
