  • CAPEX & Upgrades: Plan, budget, and execute facility capital expenditure (CAPEX) projects, equipment installations, and major automation overhauls on time and within budget.
  • Data-Driven Decisions: Use CMMS data, machine downtime metrics, and team performance KPIs to identify bottleneck areas and reallocate resources effectively.
 
Technical Oversight & Maintenance Strategy
  • Specialized Automation: Oversee the preventative maintenance schedules for commercial printing presses, multi-head embroidery machines, industrial lasers, and autonomous mobile picking robots (AMRs).
  • Safety Leadership: Champion a zero-incident safety culture by enforcing strict OSHA standards, Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) protocols, and laser safety compliance (ANSI Z136).
  • Vendor Management: Manage external contractors, specialized equipment OEMs, and spare parts inventory workflows to complement internal team capabilities.
Qualifications & Skills
