• Shepherd capital projects from specification and runoff through installation and contractor oversight.
• Maintain precise equipment documentation and production layout drawings.
• Engineer corrective actions that prevent recurring equipment/process failures.
• Level up the team via focused training that closes skill gaps.
• Coordinate TPM/PM plus proactive and predictive maintenance to maximize uptime.
• Co-own PFMEA, control plans, and process flows with the Quality Engineer.
