Quality Assurance, Safety & Compliance
- Conduct regular area inspections to identify deficiencies early and drive timely corrective action. Maintain facilities in a constant state of tour readiness.
- Champion safety and FOD (Foreign Object Debris) prevention awareness. Help the team understand how their work protects product integrity and prevents contamination in high-precision manufacturing. Enforce all safety policies, PPE requirements, and emergency procedures.
- Respond immediately and effectively to spills, urgent requests, or emergencies, coordinating resources calmly and minimizing operational impact.
Administrative, Planning & Cross-Functional Partnership
- Own scheduling, timekeeping, attendance tracking, and task completion. Produce clear reports on productivity, supplies, training, and inspections as needed by leadership.
