Job Title : Process Lead - Champion of Continuous Improvement

Location : Hershey, PA

About Us :

At Hershey, we don't just make products - we create experiences. And behind those experiences are incredible processes driven by talented individuals. We are in pursuit of a Process Lead , a relentless problem-solver with a vision for efficiency and a passion for perfection. If you believe that there's always a better way to do something, and you're excited about leading a zero-loss culture, you might just be the perfect fit. This isn't just a job; it's your chance to transform how we operate, one production line at a time.

Your Role :

As our Process Lead , you will become the architect of change. You'll lead the charge in driving the Hershey Lean Operating System at our plant by building and implementing process improvements. You'll collaborate with cross-functional teams, ensuring the smooth functioning of our production lines while championing safety, efficiency, and quality. You won't just identify problems; you'll lead the charge in eliminating them through data-driven solutions and innovative thinking.

Key Responsibilities :

  • Master of Efficiency : Optimize production time and control processes without compromising on safety and quality. You'll own systems like Centerlines (CL) and Rapid Changeovers (RCO).
  • Data Ninja : Manage loss data and track performance. Use your analytical prowess to find and eliminate waste, bringing us closer to a zero-loss environment.
  • Standards Guru : Develop and manage operating standards that drive excellence in daily tasks (think product changeovers, mechanical adjustments) while coaching operators and mechanics to execute flawlessly.
  • Problem-Solving Jedi : Lead daily problem-solving efforts. You'll be the go-to expert for identifying bottlenecks and inefficiencies and delivering rapid, effective solutions.
  • Continuous Improvement Architect : Collaborate with the Business Unit leader, Line Lead, and core team to drive system improvements that ensure stable and efficient operations.
  • Lean Warrior : Train, coach, and inspire your team to embrace a lean mindset, turning every obstacle into an opportunity for improvement.

What We're Looking For :

  • Leadership : You lead from the front, inspiring your team to adopt a mindset of continuous improvement.
  • Problem Solver : When faced with a challenge, you don't back down - you dig deeper to uncover root causes and craft data-backed solutions.
  • Innovator : You're always looking for ways to streamline processes, and you're not afraid to push for change.
  • Collaborator : You excel at working with cross-functional teams, from operators to engineers, to drive success on all fronts.
  • Data Enthusiast : You're comfortable with data collection, analysis, and using insights to fuel better decisions and actions.
  • Skills and Experience :

  • 3+ years of experience in a high-speed, automated manufacturing environment.
  • Proven experience with Lean Manufacturing, TPM, and tools like Six Sigma (Green or Black Belt preferred).
  • Comfortable with tech tools like OSI PI, PowerApps, PowerBI, and O365.
  • Bachelor's Degree in Engineering or a related field is required.
  • Why Us?

  • The Impact : You will be at the heart of driving change that impacts our entire organization. Your contributions will shape our future.
  • The Culture : We value creativity, collaboration, and continuous learning. You'll be part of a team where your voice matters and your ideas have an impact.
  • The Perks : Competitive salary, comprehensive benefits, a collaborative workspace, and the chance to be a key player in a company that values innovation.
  • Nearest Major Market : Harrisburg
