Manufacturing - Systems Project Leader

The Manufacturing Systems Project Leaderis responsible forestablishingand implementing the manufacturing systems required for the successful startup and ongoing operation of a new BAC manufacturing facility. This roleleadsthe deployment and integration of MES,Tulus, press brake programming, and related production systems beginning in EPIC-2 and continuing through launch and stabilization. The position partners with Manufacturing Systems, Information Technology, Engineering, Operations, Quality, Human Resources, and external suppliers to implement manufacturing systems that support workforce readiness, operational excellence, and sustainable plant performance aligned with BAC standards.

• Lead manufacturing systems readiness for the greenfield plant from requirements definition and configuration through testing, deployment, production launch, and stabilization.
• Partner with Manufacturing Leadership, Human Resources, and Training teams to support user adoption, workforce training, certification, and operational readiness activities required for successful startup and long-term system utilization.
• Coordinate the implementation and integration of MES,Tulus, press brake programming, and related manufacturing applications and interfaces, beginninginEPIC-2.
• Translate manufacturing process and user requirements into system workflows, configurations, master data, controls, reports, and support procedures.
• Partner with Information Technology and Manufacturing Systems teams to establishsystem connectivity, user access, device requirements, data flows, cybersecurity controls, and production support processes.
• Plan and lead system testing, user acceptance, defect resolution, cutover, launch support, and post-launch stabilization.
• Ensure manufacturing system solutions support production execution, traceability, quality controls, scheduling, data collection, and operational visibility.
• Coordinate dependencies across equipment, network, ERP, MES, programming, data, and shop-floor processes to prevent gaps in operational readiness.
• Develop system standards, governance, change controls, escalation paths, and sustainment processes aligned with BAC requirements.
• Create andmaintainstandard operating procedures, work instructions, training materials, certification requirements, system documentation, and support guides.
• Train and certify site manufacturing leaders, system users, and designated support resources to execute transactions,monitor performance, resolve routine issues, and sustain standards.
• Implement applicable BAC X standards and daily management practices, including tier boards, hour-by-hour monitoring, visual controls, and performance escalation supported byaccuratesystem data.
• Track workstream milestones, risks, decisions, dependencies, and deliverables; communicate status and elevate barriers that may affect plant startup.
• Transition system ownership to the site and support teams with validated solutions, complete documentation, trained users, and clearly defined ongoing support responsibilities.

This is a hands-on project leadership role supporting the configuration, testing, deployment, and stabilization of manufacturing systems for a greenfield facility. The incumbent leads the manufacturing systems workstream and coordinates cross-functional resources across Operations, Manufacturing Systems, Information Technology, Engineering, Quality, and suppliers.

This role requiresstrongunderstanding of shop-floor processes, disciplined project execution, and the ability to connect system design with practical manufacturing needs. Success is measured by operational readiness, user adoption, system reliability, production support capability, data integrity, and the…
