Process Engineering Change Orders (ECOs) for product and documentation updates.

Design and develop tooling, fixtures, gauges, visual aids, and work instructions to support safe and efficient production.

Systems & Continuous Improvement

Contribute to the annual nVent Integrated Management System (PIMS) implementation plan based on value stream mapping and business metrics.

Support efforts to reduce waste, improve employee safety, and increase overall plant efficiency.
