We believe you bring

  • Bachelor's degree (chemical, mechanical, industrial, supply chain, or similar technical field preferred)
  • 5+ years of experience in manufacturing, operations, or plant-based roles
  • (Enough to understand production processes, equipment efficiency, root-cause methods, and CI tools in a real plant environment)
  • 3+ years of hands-on Continuous Improvement / Operational Excellence experience
  • Running CI projects, improving KPIs, leading investigations, driving cost/efficiency initiatives
  • Lean Six Sigma Green Belt (required)

  • Comfortable training and coaching teams at all levels
  • Strong influencing skills — able to lead without authority and drive change in plant environments
  • Solid English communication skills
  • Self-driven mindset and passion for CI, innovation, and problem-solving
  • Lives in CDMX (or willing to relocate) and is comfortable visiting Los Reyes frequently
