Production Control, Sr. Process Engineer

As the Production Control Sr. Process Engineer, you are responsible for the design, implementation, and continuous improvement of internal material logistics to manufacturing lines with respect to safety, efficiency, cost and quality. Through true cross-departmental collaboration, our process engineers design and implement conveyance methods, manpower requirements, equipment needs, lineside layouts, warehouse layouts and replenishment methods to convey raw material effectively and safely to the line. However, our job only begins with the design. Through a continuous feedback loop with our operations team, we constantly evaluate and improve our processes to streamline material flow by eliminating non-value-added activities. This never-ending persistence for excellence is a core value to our team and essential to achieving a World Class Manufacturing system.
