Plant Operations Leader - Lean Manufacturing & CAD Integration in Kansas City
Energy Jobline ZR, Kansas City, MO, United States
Step into a day where your decisions move production forward.
You start with a floor walk: safety checks, a glance at the KPI board, and a quick huddle with production, quality, and maintenance. By mid‑morning, you’re shoulder‑to‑shoulder with engineering and drafting, reviewing drawings and GD&T to ensure designs translate cleanly to the line. The afternoon brings a kaizen blitz on scrap reduction, a capital project review, and coaching supervisors across shifts. It’s full operational ownership with the autonomy to modernize—and executive support to make it stick.
