• Translate performance data into actionable decisions, identifying root causes, driving corrective action, and escalating trends
• Drive standardization of best practices across shifts and operational areas
• Present regular performance summaries that highlight risks, wins, and resource needs
Execution of Sanitation Strategy

• Ensure consistent adoption of new processes, technologies, and procedures across all teams
• Provide structured feedback on system effectiveness, execution gaps, and emerging risks, with supporting data and recommended solutions

Cross-Functional Coordination
• Partner with Operations, FSQA, Maintenance, and Engineering to ensure alignment across the facility
• Support production start-up readiness and ensure sanitation completion aligns with production schedules
• Participate in audits, inspections, and issue resolution efforts
• Support facility expansions, equipment changes, and commissioning activities
Continuous Improvement
• Drive plant-wide sanitation improvements in efficiency, consistency, and cost
• Identify and implement opportunities and strategies to reduce sanitation variability and improve execution reliability
• Partner with Maintenance and Engineering to improve equipment cleanability and sanitation efficiency
• Support implementation of best practices across teams and ensure improvements are sustained over time
Safety & Compliance
