Our CASIC values guide how this leader works:
Collaboration across teams, Accountability for results and commitments, a Solutions-Driven response to problems, Integrity in reporting and decisions, and a Champion Mindset that develops people and keeps improvement moving.

• Lead shift startup, line readiness, staffing assignments and daily execution across production lines. Adjust labor and priorities as conditions change, and communicate schedule risks and results promptly.
• Direct and coach approximately 15 production employees, including supervisory and line lead personnel. Set clear expectations, delegate work, train and cross-train employees, conduct performance reviews and address performance or conduct concerns consistently.
• Participate in hiring and selection; administer discipline and recommend terminations in accordance with company practices. Approve production PTO, adjust staffing and assign overtime within company guidelines and operational needs.
• Track and act on throughput, units per person, uptime, first pass yield, downtime, waste and other applicable production measures. Maintain accurate shift records and use spreadsheets, dashboards and digital systems to identify trends, explain variance and follow corrective actions through completion.
• Own production-floor adherence to approved GMP, food safety, quality, sanitation, process control, documentation and product traceability requirements. Stop or contain questionable production, escalating concerns immediately and partner with Quality or Compliance on disposition and corrective action.
• Promote safe work practices, housekeeping and organized work areas. Address hazards promptly, support training and reinforce standard work and 5S practices.
• Recognize equipment and process problems, capture useful facts, take safe initial action and coordinate timely response with Maintenance. Help distinguish equipment losses from staffing, method and execution opportunities without assuming ownership of maintenance repairs.
• Implement practical improvements to work methods, training, changeovers, labor use, quality and line performance. Test changes, document results and sustain improvements with the team.
• Give the Director of Operations accurate, timely updates on performance, mistakes, emerging risks and needed decisions. Carry assigned initiatives from direction to implementation, elevate obstacles and provide progress updates without repeated prompting.
