  • Proficiency in Microsoft Excel, Project, and PowerPoint

  • Experience working cross-functionally in a manufacturing or production environment

  • Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities

  • Ability to quickly learn and apply data tools for reporting and analysis

It’d be nice if you had:
