We are looking for a talented Manufacturing Shop Operations Team Manager to join our team specializing in manufacturing for our Cummins’ business in Bloomfield, CT. In this role, you will make an impact in the following ways: Deliver daily production targets by sequencing work, allocating resources, and removing roadblocks to maximize throughput while maintaining quality and safety standards. Elevate safety performance through proactive hazard identification, daily 5S/Gemba walks, and rapid mitigation—modeling safe behaviors and driving a zero‑injury culture. Improve productivity and efficiency by standardizing work, optimizing line balance and changeovers, and applying root-cause problem solving (e.g., 5 Whys, Pareto) to eliminate losses. Strengthen quality at the source by reinforcing standard operating procedures, containment and corrective actions, and first-pass yield—reducing scrap, rework, and customer escapes. Lead cross-functional improvements (Operations, Maintenance, Quality, Supply Chain) to stabilize flow, reduce downtime, and increase OEE/schedule attainment through structured Kaizen events. Coach, mentor, and develop the team with clear expectations, real-time feedback, and skills cross-training—building bench strength, engagement, and a high-performance culture. Enhance communication and accountability via daily tier meetings, visual management, and KPIs (safety, quality, delivery, cost, morale), ensuring everyone understands goals and roles. Execute projects and work assignments as group lead—scoping objectives, coordinating resources, tracking milestones, and sustaining gains to lock in measurable, repeatable results.
