Proven experience with plant startups and equipment tuning in a single-facility setting. Strong knowledge of extrusion processes, polymer chemistry, and plant equipment (e.g., extruders, pumps, heat exchangers) relevant to XPS production. Ability to troubleshoot process and equipment issues in a hands‑on, plant-specific context. Experience with process optimization tools (e.g., Six Sigma, Lean Manufacturing) is a plus. Proficiency in data analysis and process simulation software (e.g., Aspen, MATLAB, or similar). Strong communication skills and the ability to work effectively with the plant’s cross‑functional team. Familiarity with OSHA, EPA, and other regulatory standards applicable to the facility. Direct experience with XPS manufacturing processes, including blowing agents (e.g., HFC, HFO, blended blowing agents) and foam density control. Manufacturing leadership experience or potential to advance to Sr leadership position. Prior involvement in plant-specific projects, such as equipment tuning or process enhancements at a single site. Knowledge of energy efficiency and sustainability practices tailored to a manufacturing plant.
