Requirements

This position does not require a degree. We are looking for the best person for the job. I am interested in seeing all candidates that have the experience outlined below.

Required skills include the ability to read and interpret engineering drawings and tolerances,

Comfortable making product presentations, use of MS Office products such as Word, PowerPoint, and especially Excel for analytical use.

We are looking for someone that brings the maturity necessary to balance customer needs with corporate objectives and capabilities.

You must have a proven track record of success in hands-on, high-profile, high-bandwidth positions.

You should be a hard charger who thrives on satisfying customers and understands that success is achieved in the “trenches” by outperforming competition and exceeding the needs and expectations of our customers.

You will possess proven project management skills and the ability to control multiple programs (30 to 35) at the same time while completing them on-time and within budget. (Those who are in automotive that are used to managing two or three programs need not be concerned about the number of programs. This is far less complex than launching a new car line, a seating system, interior, etc.

Our client prefers a local candidate. However we also want the best possible person for the job. If you must relocate we will negotiate a limited relocation package that will not include any real estate commissions, closing costs, etc.

I can't say this strongly enough. This company is an outstanding company that is NOT AUTOMOTIVE. You will be joining a successful team that is looking for someone to bring fresh ideas.
