• Lead project communication and alignment, facilitating regular meetings to identify dependencies, resolve issues, and maintain stakeholder visibility.
• Support capital planning and strategy, contributing to annual budgets and long‑range capital improvement plans.
• Introduce new technologies and capabilities, collaborating with R&D and Product Engineering to bring new equipment and processes into production.
• Ensure safety and compliance throughout projects, adhering to health, safety, and environmental standards during all phases of execution.
• Develop multi‑year capital improvement plans, supporting facility upgrades, expansions, and equipment replacement strategies.
• Drive continuous improvement in project execution, contributing to standard work, best practices, and process optimization across capital projects.
