ATI is seeking an Operations Leader to lead two connected functions within our Cudahy Forged Products operation: dimensional/in-process inspection and internal material handling. This hands-on leader will help ensure forgings meet requirements before moving downstream while keeping material flowing throughout the plant.
The role is a hand-on leader, and requires a visible plant-floor presence, strong prioritization, and sound technical judgment.
Responsibilities
~1 min read- Lead inspection of forgings during the manufacturing process and supports decisions for downstream processing or rework.
- Ensure inspectors have the resources needed to inspect parts in the forging operation and after parts cool.
- Use and support dimensional/metrology tools such as calipers, height gauges, CMMs, and laser/3D scanning.
- Review drawings and requirements, select appropriate inspection methods, and communicate issues supporting corrective action.
- Lead internal trucking/material handling that moves forgings and other material throughout the plant.
- Coordinate inbound/outbound lanes, respond to production requests, and prioritize hot or time-sensitive moves.
- Monitor multiple plant areas, allocate manpower, and maintain uninterrupted material flow.
- Lead, coach, and train hourly employees while maintaining accountability for safety, quality, productivity, attendance, and performance.
- Manage required safety activities, including crane and mobile-equipment inspections, and support applicable union contract requirements.
- Lead continuous improvement and problem solving to improve safety, quality, flow, productivity, and internal customer service.
- Monday-Friday salaried leadership role, generally 6:30 AM-3:30 PM.
- Highly mobile position; approximately 60% plant-floor activity and 40% office/administrative work.
- Onsite role requiring frequent walking throughout a large manufacturing facility.
- Because internal trucking supports multiple shifts, occasional weekend or off-shift calls may be required.
Requirements
~1 min read- Associate degree or higher in a technical or related field; relevant areas may include inspection, metrology, machining, CAD/computer-aided drafting, or a comparable discipline.
- 3+ years of general supervisory experience, with knowledge of applicable labor contract provisions and accident prevention fundamentals.
Nice to Have
~1 min read- Prior machining or prior dimensional inspection methods, techniques, equipment, with blueprint reading capabilities in a manufacturing environment.
- Excellent oral, written, and interpersonal communication skills.
- Excellent organization and ability to multi-task and prioritize competing demands.
- Strong mechanical aptitude and technical judgment related to dimensional inspection and manufacturing processes.
- Ability to lead effectively on the plant floor and make sound decisions in a fast-paced environment.
