  • Serve as the escalation point for complex technical issues that affect both IT and production, collaborating with IT teams and vendors to resolve critical system failures.
  • Proactively monitor production systems and networks to identify potential issues before they impact production, ensuring preventative measures are in place.

Project Management and Global Coordination

  • Lead cross-functional IT/OT projects aimed at improving production processes, including system upgrades, network enhancements, and new technology implementations.
  • Collaborate with global IT teams to coordinate system changes, upgrades, and rollouts, ensuring minimal impact on production activities and alignment with global standards.
  • Own the project proposal process for IT/OT projects, ensuring that all solutions meet both operational and IT objectives while maintaining global compliance.

Training and Support

  • Provide training and support to operations and production staff on the use of IT systems that interface with production, such as MES, ERP, and other manufacturing software.
