  • Lead, coach, and develop a large and diverse team—creating a high-performing, engaged, and resilient workforce.
  • Embed a culture of continuous improvement by challenging the status quo, empowering your teams, and identifying smarter, safer, and more efficient ways of working.
  • Partner with internal stakeholders and external suppliers to ensure full compliance, smooth workflows, and strong communication across the operation.
  • Manage waste, downtime, and performance data—ensuring accurate reporting across OEE, efficiency, product weights, and labour usage to support better decisions and performance insights.
