• Continuous Improvement: Actively participate in optimization projects, loss reduction initiatives, and the implementation of lean tools (6S, Kanban, etc.).
• Progressive Leadership: Develop your management, communication, and problem-solving skills through increasing levels of responsibility.
• Strategic Contributions: Be entrusted with special assignments and large-scale projects that directly impact plant performance.
• Your Long-Term Mandate: Production Manager

• Leadership and Team Management: Lead and motivate all production teams (multiple shifts), fostering a safe, positive, and accountable work environment.
• Operational Performance: Be responsible for achieving performance objectives (OEE, costs, quality, delivery). Analyze data and key performance indicators (KPIs) to drive improvements.
• Production Management: Oversee planning, daily operations, and problem-solving to ensure efficient and profitable production.
• Operational Excellence: Lead the implementation and deployment of continuous improvement programs and lean manufacturing practices.
• Health & Safety: Promote and maintain a strong safety culture, ensuring compliance with all programs and standards.
• Human Capital Development: Recruit, train, and develop talent, ensure succession planning, and support employee retention.
• Strategic Collaboration: Work closely with other departments (Logistics, Maintenance, HR, Finance) to achieve the plant’s strategic and financial objectives.

Qualifications

• University degree in engineering, operations, logistics, management, or a related field;
• 2 to 5 years of experience in an manufacturing/industrial environment, ideally in production;
• Strong interest in the technical aspects of operations and manufacturing processes;
• Ability to work as part of a team and build trusting relationships with operators and managers;
