• Make real-time decisions to manage line speed, coating quality, kettle availability, and material flow
• Direct operators and coordinate crane/material movement to maintain continuous flow
• Identify and escalate bottlenecks, equipment issues, or process instability immediately
• Support startup, changeovers, and recovery from downtime events
• Train and develop operators; reinforce standards and accountability
• Ensure compliance with GalvaBar coating specs and inspection requirements
• Maintain clear communication with maintenance and management

What You’ll Need

• 2+ years in industrial production (continuous process preferred)
• Ability to manage multiple constraints (kettle, equipment, material flow)
• Strong judgment under pressure
• Hands-on mindset; willing to operate equipment
• Clear communicator in a heavy industrial environment
