Job Description
Aero Alliance, a joint venture between GE Vernova and Baker Hughes, is seeking a hands-on Lean Manufacturing Specialist to serve as a key driver of our transformation at the Jayport facility in Houston.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead by Doing: Be the face of Lean on the shop floor. You will facilitate, coach, and execute weekly Kaizen events to eliminate waste in real-time.
- Empower the Team: Teach and mentor shop-floor staff in Lean methodologies (TPS, 5S, VSM). We don’t just want "solutions"—we want to build a culture where our team is empowered to solve their own problems.
- Drive Turnaround Strategy: You will own the process for reducing repair turnaround times. This includes mapping value streams, identifying manual bottlenecks, and proposing automation or layout changes that provide real value.
- Build the Business Case: You will be responsible for turning improvement ideas into reality. This includes building business cases for process changes, tracking KPIs, and presenting your results to functional leadership.
- Champion EHS: Safety is non-negotiable. You will ensure that every process improvement is safer, more ergonomic, and more efficient than the one before it.
Requirements
- Bachelor’s degree from an accredited university - OR - 4+ years in a Lean manufacturing role
- Practitioner First: You have 4+ years of hands-on experience in a manufacturing environment. You are comfortable in steel-toed boots and have a track record of implementing changes that actually "stick."
- A Teacher at Heart: You have exceptional communication skills. You can explain complex Lean concepts to a shop-floor operator as easily as you can present a status update to senior leadership.
- Results-Oriented: You have a proven record of driving operational improvements (reduced lead time, improved quality, or cost reduction) through data-driven problem solving.
- Change Agent: You understand that Lean is 20% tools and 80% change management. You know how to navigate resistance and build consensus.
- Lean Certification (Green or Black Belt) preferred
- AutoCAD or other design software experience highly desirable
- Full working knowledge and application of Lean concepts
- Effective communication skills; comfortable presenting projects, facilitating Lean events, and coaching others
- Proven record of implementing and inspiring continuous improvement culture in an organization
- Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities for identifying improvement opportunities
- Change management skills to drive process implementations and process improvements across multiple departments
- Fluent in English and interest in international networking.
- About Us: Aero Alliance is a Joint Venture that serves three segments of customers – its two parent companies, Baker Hughes and GE Vernova, as well as the Authorized Service Providers (ASP) network. At Aero Alliance, our purpose is to deliver improved product, repair & execution strategy & fulfillment with best- in-class quality, speed and cost for the JV Partners & ASPs.
- Our people are the trusted experts, relied on to solve challenges big and small. We invest in the health and well-being of our workforce, train and reward talent, and develop leaders at all levels to bring out the best in each other.
- GE Vernova will only employ those who are legally authorized to work in the United States for this opening. Any offer of employment is conditioned upon the successful completion of a drug screen (as applicable).
