At Eaton’s Lakeside facility, we don’t just manufacture components—we engineer precision. As a global leader in conveyance systems for the aerospace and defense industry, our site delivers mission-critical hoses, couplings, ducting, and sealing solutions that power some of the world’s most advanced aircraft.

Monitor execution of the production schedule, including labour coordination and daily operational alignment.
Escalate material‑availability risks to the COE and Network teams to protect schedule adherence.
Drive forecast attainment in alignment with the MPS and SIOP outputs.
Execute shipment schedules that meet customer priority dates in coordination with Customer Service and Network teams.
Champion continuous improvement using tools such as MMA, OPA, visual management, standard work, and value‑stream mapping.
Maintain target inventory levels and achieve on‑time delivery goals for internal and external customers, including freight‑cost and premium‑freight performance.
Ensure accuracy and integrity of plant‑owned data, including routings, WMS transactions, MRO records, shipping and receiving data, part movements, and scheduling parameters.
Serve as the primary escalation point for issues impacting execution of the overall SIOP plan.

Qualifications:

Bachelor’s degree from accredited institution
Minimum five (5) years’ combined experience in Materials, Operations and/or Supply Chain Management within a manufacturing environment - Minimum three (3) years of manager of people experience

Skills:

Preferred Qualifications: - Experience in supporting cross-functional SIOP and Inventory management processes - Technical knowledge of forecasting techniques, bill of material structuring and scheduling execution - ERP knowledge preferably by current business systems - In-depth knowledge of plant manufacturing processes and value streams from raw materials to finished product - APICS CPIM Certification is desirable
