Mgr, Global Automation Ops -Engineering

Key Responsibilities

• Safety
• Partner with site Operations, Engineering, and Safety teams to ensure processes are executed safely and in compliance with standards
• Support adherence to PEAK and safety requirements including lockout/tagout (LOTO), equipment safeguards, and safe operating procedures
• Validate that workflows and process changes do not introduce safety risks
• Evaluate process design and material flow to identify ergonomic risks and unsafe work conditions
• Participate in incident and near-miss reviews to support root cause analysis and corrective actions
• Ensure SOPs and standard work documentation reflect safe operating practices
• Digitization
• Analyze operational data to identify bottlenecks, variability, and inefficiencies in receiving, storage, picking, packing, and shipping processes
• Perform throughput, capacity, and flow analysis using data to support operational decision making
• Build and sustain dashboards, KPIs, and reporting frameworks to track operational performance
• Ensure data accuracy and alignment to a single source of truth for decision making
• Leverage tools such as Power BI, WMS, and other systems to improve visibility and insight
• Operations Design
• Analyze, optimize warehouse layouts, workflows, and material flow processes using industrial engineering principles
• Conduct time and motion studies and work measurement analysis to establish labor standards and productivity benchmarks
• Develop standard work and process documentation to ensure repeatable and consistent execution
• Evaluate material flow and handling methods to reduce non-value-added movement and improve efficiency
• Partner with site leadership to embed standardized operating practices into daily routines
• Support deployments, process changes, and operational improvements across sites
• Ensure processes are executed consistently with defined standards and expectations
• Optimization
• Develop and implement process improvements to reduce waste, cost, and cycle times using Lean or Six Sigma methodologies
• Support capacity planning, space utilization, and throughput modeling initiatives
• Apply root cause analysis, process mapping, and basic statistical techniques to identify improvement opportunities
• Identify and eliminate bottlenecks to improve operational throughput and flow
• Apply structured problem-solving techniques (DMAIC or similar) to resolve process inefficiencies
• Evaluate opportunities to incorporate automation or technology where it adds measurable value

Qualifications
