POSITION PURPOSE

The Director of Continuous Improvement & Quality Management is the owner of first-pass success and operational excellence within YESCO’s Production and Operations functions.

This role is responsible for continuously improving how work is performed while ensuring quality standards are consistently met “designed into processes, not inspected after failure.”

The Director builds, enforces, and evolves the systems that drive:

• First-pass accuracy
   

• Stable, repeatable production processes
   

• Defect and rework elimination
   

• Labor and cycle-time efficiency
   

• Predictable, high-quality installation outcomes
   

This position operates as a neutral quality authority—not driven by production volume or schedule pressure—and serves as the enterprise voice for quality, discipline, and continuous improvement within Operations.

• Analyze rework, defects, delays, and cost overruns to identify systemic root causes

• Facilitate cross-functional problem solving and improvement events

  • Best practices

  • Visual standards

  • Work instructions

  • Standard work discipline

  • Continuous improvement tools
     

• Coach operational leaders to shift from firefighting to system improvement
