The ideal candidate must have a BS in Engineering with extensive process engineering, project management, and continuous improvement experience out of either consumer products or high speed manufacturing. Paper industry experience would be a plus but not required. Looking for a strong hands on leader who knows how to coach, mentor, and develop people. Must have previous experience managing Engineers and possibly management people to be considered for this role. Lean manufacturing and Six Sigma Certification (at least a Green Belt) also essential. Data analysis experience important.
