  • Oversee machine guarding, lockout/tagout compliance, and equipment safety audits.
  • Lead evaluation and execution of capital expenditure projects, equipment upgrades, and process automation initiatives.

4. Quality & Sustainability

  • Ensure finished goods consistently meet internal and customer specifications for dimensions, strength, clarity, and multi-color printing (1–8 color capability).
  • Collaborate with Engineering, Sales, and Supply Chain on new product introductions and process optimization.
  • Lead sustainability initiatives focused on:
  • Waste reduction
  • Scrap control
  • Energy efficiency
  • Responsible material utilization

5. Health, Safety & Regulatory Compliance

  • Build strong technical capability within the plant through structured training and mentorship.
  • Drive performance management, workforce engagement, and succession planning.
  • Act as a key member of the senior leadership team contributing to long-term strategic planning.

7. Financial & Strategic Accountability

  • Monitor actual vs. budget performance and implement corrective actions.
  • Drive cost-reduction initiatives while maintaining product quality and service levels.
