This role closely aligns with the hands-on leadership expectations of your Lumberton facility.
Manufacturing Operations Management: As Manufacturing Manager at PHA USA and Robert Sinto Corporation, Shawn managed teams of 50 to 75 employees, implemented process improvements, oversaw equipment maintenance programs (PM and TPM), and led multi-million-dollar capital improvement projects, mirroring your plant’s production environment and growth focus.
