• Make real-time decisions to address safety, quality, or production issues
• Communicate clearly across departments and shifts
• Coach and develop team members while reinforcing expectations

This is a highly hands‑on role, with the majority of time spent working alongside the team.

• Must be able to pass a 90-day head hair drug test today

• Employee‑owned, stable, and growing
• Industry leader in forged products for critical applications
• Strong safety culture and team‑first mindset
• A place where people build careers, not just resumes
