Experience developing protective packaging systems, including blocking, bracing, and load securement for large, non-crated items.
Expertise in labeling materials and adhesives suitable for metal parts exposed to outdoor conditions.
Strong skills in documenting packaging processes, SOPs, and inspection checklists.
Ability to perform root-cause analysis and translate findings into actionable recommendations.
Excellent communication and collaboration skills to work with Operations, Quality, and Manufacturing teams.
