Morton Grove, IL

6 + Month Contract

Fully onsite

PPE required when accessing the factory from time to time (up to 2x a week) to follow up on projects, or look for products

Windchill Experience is needed

Previous Change Coordinator experience in a Engineering or manufacturing company.

ENG degree or experience a plus, but not required.

Examples of change would be closing out defunct parts, or adding new part names

• Coordinating the various ECR’s in process and updating metrics, reports and data that needs to be communicated to higher management.
• Primarily working in an office area. From time to time, they need to go to the production area. Will need to wear PPE to talk to workers on an as needed basis.
• Windchill is ideal but only preferred. Not a must have.
• Microsoft Office Suite would be nice as they will be using Excel.
• Extend or convert to full time? There is potential for it. Can’t commit for sure at this time.
• Rejected resumes : Manager noticed a lot of people with Masters degrees. That is too senior for them. Associates or Bachelors is fine.

A lot of people with general experience but need someone that has dealt with change management (boots on the ground type).

• Trying to obsolete items that are no longer required.
• Product rationalization implementation.
• Introducing new parts as well to simplify and streamline for the customers.
• Manufacturing experience is fine to look at if they have implemented change.
• Any 3 D experience is ok. Creo is what they use. Solid works experience is fine. Not really a must have but being able to understand it.
• No relocation. This has to be a local candidate already and ready to go onsite.
• Change management ( boots on the ground type) with Coordination experience and manufacturing background. Product life cycle experience.
• Masters’ degree is too senior.
• Needs to be organized and able to manage multiple tasks at the same time.
• Report and summarize status of items.
