**Transform the everyday with us!**
The Lean Transformation Manager will be the driving force in
the journey to operational excellence within Electrical Products (EP) at our
Electrical Distribution Equipment manufacturing facility in Fort Worth, TX.
This role is crucial in developing a vision and executing a strategic plan that
elevates the factory’s operations to a future state defined by high
performance, lean efficiency, and continuous improvement. Reporting directly to
the plant manager and leading an 11-person Lean team across a workforce of more
than 1,200 employees, you will create a comprehensive roadmap for change and
foster a culture of innovation and excellence throughout the organization,
raising the bar rather than maintaining the status quo. This is an on-site
role, working closely with teams on the production floor.
**You will make an impact by:**
• Leading the deployment of lean tools and methodologies
such as 6S, Kaizen, and Value Stream Mapping across all departments, including
mechanical and electrical assembly, fabrication, material delivery, and robotic
operations, to drive measurable gains in throughput and quality.
• Building and leading a high-performing 11-person lean
transformation team, providing direction, mentorship, and development so the
team stays aligned with transformation objectives and builds succession
capability.
• Optimizing material flow and layout through flow design,
material feeding, cycle time analysis, time studies, line balancing, and
capacity modeling, advancing the plant’s transition from stationary builds
toward continuous one-piece flow.
• Facilitating Lean workshops, visual management, and Lean
Thinker training for hourly employees, keeping the Lean team focused on
improving production systems rather than becoming permanently absorbed in daily
production work.
• Working alongside data analytics and automation teams to
evaluate new technologies, applying a fundamentals-first approach that
simplifies and stabilizes processes before introducing automation, robotics, or
digitalization.
• Integrating lean
principles into the factory’s safety programs, ensuring every process
improvement also enhances workplace safety.

• Led lean
transformation initiatives in a complex manufacturing setting, preferably in
electrical or mechanical assembly, delivering results through completed
implementation rather than recommendations alone.
• Implemented production-line improvements hands-on,
including flow design, material feeding, cycle time reduction, time studies,
line balancing, and factory layout.
• Demonstrated strong knowledge of lean tools and
methodologies, paired with social competence and the ability to influence
culture and workplace habits.
• Possess a strong understanding of process fundamentals and
stabilization, along with energy, creativity, persistence, and the ability to
