Responsibilities

• Serve as the primary operations liaison across Automation, Engineering, IT, Facilities, and Staffing throughout the facility launch lifecycle — from construction turnover through steady-state operations.
• Facilitate cross-functional meetings, providing clear and consistent updates to both internal and external stakeholders to keep projects on track.
• Develop process flows, labor models, and staffing plans that connect automation system design to operational headcount requirements.
• Lead cross-functional teams through the execution phase of the project, from early site preparation and coordination to final system acceptance, while maintaining a strong focus on project goals.
• Build readiness checklists and operational acceptance criteria that define what “ready to operate” means for each team before go-live.
• Conduct post-launch performance analysis to close the loop between design intent and actual results.
• Foster a culture built on transparency, timely decision-making, and strong partnerships across all project participants.
