The kind of leader who wins here

You are calm under pressure, direct, and consistent. You do not need to be told what to do. You build order inside ambiguity and hold the standard without micromanaging.

  • Proven experience building KPIs, dashboards/scorecards, and accountability rhythms (weekly meetings, quarterly planning, etc.)
  • Experience overseeing maintenance and vendor coordination
  • The ability to make hard decisions (performance management, enforcing standards)
  • Experience with EOS or a comparable operating system is a plus, but not required (we care most that you can clearly explain the operating system you have run and how you drive accountability)
  • Bilingual (English/Spanish) is a strong advantage, not required


Requirements
  • Reliable transportation for local site visits in Northwest Indiana
  • Ability to pass background check and drug screening
  • Occasionally lift up to 50 lbs
