Your role

Low-Code/No-Code Platforms: applications with PowerApps, AppSheet, or similar tools to bridge the gap between "data insight" and "on-floor tool."
Be actively present on the shop floor, engage with teams directly, and help drive a culture of continuous improvement.
Document process improvements, best practices, and project outcomes in a structured and transparent way.
Drive standards and expectations in line with standard work and operational excellence principles.
Provide training and support on process improvement methodologies, tools, and techniques. (Lean, Six Sigma)
