Technical & Functional Skills

Working knowledge of quality tools including SPC, APQP, and related systems
Familiarity with manufacturing processes such as machining, welding, metrology, and assembly/testing
Experience with flow meters, electronics, or measurement equipment preferred

Skills & Competencies

Strong problem-solving and analytical skills
Effective written and verbal communication skills, including active listening
Ability to collaborate across multiple functions (Operations, Engineering, Quality, Procurement)
Self-motivated with the ability to learn quickly with limited direction
High attention to detail

Additional Considerations

Experience working in a union manufacturing environment preferred
Demonstrated commitment to safety, ethics, and professional conduct

Key Success Metrics

Reduction in product cost and lead time
Manufacturing process capability and efficiency improvements
Reduction in Cost of Non-Quality (CNQ)
On-time project completion and implementation of improvements
Audit compliance and SOP adherence
Quality performance and defect reduction

Key Interactions

Internally: Collaborate with Operations & Manufacturing, Engineering (Design, Manufacturing, Product Quality), Quality, Planning, Procurement & Sourcing, and Product Lifecycle Management teams

Externally: Interact with key suppliers and vendors supporting manufacturing processes, including equipment providers, tooling vendors, and external partners involved in corrective actions and process improvements

Work Environment:

A positive and collaborative office environment where open communication is encouraged, fostering a supportive team atmosphere with opportunities for professional development and a focus on work-life balance, including flexible scheduling options when applicable.

General physical conditions include working in a temperature-controlled office environment with good air quality, adequate lighting, and low level of noise. If needed to visit manufacturing facility and/or customer sites, there may be some exposure to higher level noises due to machinery and equipment, exposure to dust, and the requirement to wear PPE, along with exposure to varying temperatures and potentially hazardous conditions.

Physical Demands:

Position requires regular presence on the manufacturing floor with frequent standing, walking, and interaction with production areas. Work includes periodic sitting for analysis and documentation, routine computer use, and occasional lifting, bending, or use of stairs.

Being a global leader in the energy industry requires an inclusive and diverse environment.
