📋 Description

• Lead performance in the order that matters most: Safety, Quality, Delivery, Cost (SQDC). • Build and sustain a "Safety First" culture across the network — accountable for the physical and psychological wellbeing of thousands of team members. • Drive proactive risk assessment and human-factors engineering to continually reduce Total Recordable Incident Rate across a rapidly scaling workforce. • Drive year-over-year "Total Cost per Unit" (CPU) reductions, critical to Ford's goal of delivering more affordable electric vehicles. • Own the strategy and execution for new battery pack manufacturing lines — from equipment commissioning and systems launch through to steady-state volume production.

🎯 Requirements

• +15 years of proven experience in manufacturing, with demonstrated experience launching new/greenfield operations. • Proven success as a Plant Manager or senior manufacturing leader in high-volume, high-tech, or cleanroom manufacturing environments. • Demonstrated ability to manage the operational and financial health of multiple facilities simultaneously, including sites at different launch maturity stages. • Expert-level knowledge of Lean Manufacturing (FPS) and a track record of standing up new manufacturing operations from construction/commissioning through full-volume production. • Ability to lead through significant industrial disruptions and the ambiguity inherent to first-of-kind operations, with executive presence and a solution-oriented mindset. • A "leader of leaders" with a history of mentoring high-potential manufacturing talent into senior leadership roles. • Workforce Relations Expertise: Demonstrated ability to build direct, trusted relationships with a diverse, rapidly scaling workforce; experience navigating both union and non-union labor environments is highly valued. • Battery, EV, electrochemical, or advanced/high-tech manufacturing experience strongly preferred.
