- Working knowledge of NFPA 79, OSHA machine-safety standards, lean / six-sigma tools, and capital-project management.
- Strong communication and documentation skills; able to translate technical concepts for non-technical stakeholders.
- Self-starter mindset with a passion for learning new technologies and mentoring peers.
- Competitive salary, annual bonus eligibility, and comprehensive benefits (medical, dental, vision, 401(k) match).
- Defined professional-development roadmap with tuition assistance and industry-certification support.
