A Snapshot of Your Day This position is a new addition for business continuity within the Switchgears Jackson manufacturing facility, reporting to the Circuit Breaker Product Business. The role is critical for leading the implementation of the Manufacturing Execution System (MES) and overseeing other digital factory responsibilities to support modern manufacturing operations. To meet these objectives, the role is structured around three core areas: end-to-end project management of the MES rollout, cross-functional stakeholder collaboration, and comprehensive user enablement.
This approach ensures the project is delivered on schedule while aligning local factory needs with global standards and driving successful adoption on the shop floor. Given the focus on deploying digital systems in a manufacturing context, the ideal candidate will possess proven project management capabilities from a heavy industrial environment. Essential requirements include strong communication skills to bridge technical and operational teams, and a solid understanding of MES concepts and factory workflows.
How You'll Make an Impact:
MES Project Management & Implementation Lead the local implementation of the Manufacturing Execution System (MES), managing the project lifecycle from initial planning and design through go-live and stabilization.
Develop and maintain project plans, track progress against schedules, manage budget, identify and mitigate risks, and ensure stakeholder alignment across all work streams.
Coordinate all MES-related activities on-site, ensuring the system is delivered on time and is configured to support the factory's manufacturing operations effectively.
Troubleshoot technical and process-related issues during and after implementation to ensure system stability and long-term success.
Stakeholder Collaboration & Communication Act as the primary communication bridge between the local Jackson factory team and the global MES template group, ensuring local requirements are understood and global solutions are adapted appropriately.
Facilitate regular meetings and workshops with cross-functional teams, including engineering, manufacturing, procurement, and IT, to align on business processes and resolve challenges.
Translate complex technical information and project updates for various audiences, from shop-floor teams to senior leadership, ensuring clarity and shared understanding.
User Enablement & Change Management Develop and execute a comprehensive training plan, including workshops and hands-on support, to empower end-users and key personnel in adopting new MES workflows.
Serve as the primary point of contact for user feedback, questions, and support requests related to the new MES system.
Champion the adoption of digital work instructions and data collection processes on the shop floor, driving a culture of continuous improvement and digital transformation.
What You Bring Bachelor's degree in Engineering (Industrial, Mechanical, Electrical), Information Technology, or a related field.
3 or more years of project management experience in a heavy manufacturing, production, or industrial engineering environment. Candidates with more experience can be considered for a higher level or vice-versa.
Proven experience with MES concepts (e.g., work centers, routings, digital work instructions, data collection)
Direct experience with SAP-DM is a plus.
