Timekeeping & Labor Management

Strong Lean manufacturing and continuous improvement experience
Analytical mindset with a track record of solving problems and hitting goals
Excellent communication, coaching, and team-building skills
Proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite and SharePoint
Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, hands-on environment
