This position blends strategic system design with hands-on execution, ensuring that process capability, reliability, and cost effectiveness improve year over year across all sites.

  • Standardize maintenance planning, CMMS utilization, and spare parts management across plants.
  • Drive MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures) and MTTR (Mean Time to Repair) improvements year-over-year.

Facilities & Capital Planning

  • Oversee facilities management, including infrastructure maintenance, utilities, and energy optimization.
  • Ensure all facility projects meet regulatory, environmental, and safety standards.
  • Lead annual capital planning process and long-term asset renewal strategy.
  • Drive energy efficiency and sustainability improvements in partnership with EHS & Sustainability leadership.

Technical Capability & Continuous Improvement
