What’s the Role
\n
\n
The Continuous Improvement Coordinator is a hands-on floor execution leader who owns CI project delivery end-to-end — from opportunity identification and financial validation, through plant-level buy-in and implementation, to verified sustained results. This role matters because it turns process improvement from a one-time event into a lasting discipline, protecting F&S’s margins while strengthening the teams who run our plants every day. This is a hands-on role with a strong presence on the production floor, balanced with time spent on analysis, planning, and project execution, and it works closely with floor associates to drive and sustain operational improvements. The ideal candidate is a floor-first executor who treats every change as a hypothesis to be tested and validated with data, builds daily improvement habits in frontline leaders, and closes out projects with discipline rather than declaring victory too soon.
