Provides floor-level leadership and working coordination for modular data-center integration and assembly. The Lead supports the Supervisor by translating the shift plan into clear assignments, confirming work-area readiness, monitoring hourly execution, maintaining visual controls, responding to first-level constraints, supporting employee training, and escalating abnormalities quickly. This is a hands-on leadership role that may perform qualified assembly work when coordination demand allows, but its primary purpose is to keep people, material, information, quality, and work flow aligned at the point of execution. Receive shift priorities from the Supervisor and communicate clear assignments, sequence, target, safety/quality concerns, and expected completion timing to assigned technicians. Perform pre-start readiness checks for assigned work areas, including released drawings/work instructions, traveler/work order, material/kit availability, tools/fixtures, calibrated torque tools, PPE, access, quality criteria, and known holds/constraints. Support daily and recurring floor huddles; update or provide accurate status for the Area Board, plan-versus-actual, WIP, staffing, skill coverage, material shortages, quality issues, and open constraints. Coordinate assigned workstreams that may include busway, chilled-water headers/piping, fire suppression, electrical rough-in, wiring/termination, grounding/bonding, smoke detection/controls, lighting, roof/enclosure panels, and general mechanical assembly as qualified and released. Monitor actual progress against the shift plan at defined intervals, recognize emerging misses early, and rebalance available qualified labor within Supervisor direction. Serve as first response for routine floor abnormalities. Confirm the condition at Gemba, contain when appropriate, record the issue in the approved system, and escalate unresolved or high-risk issues immediately. Follow the site's defined 15-minute escalation path. Never allow a stopped constraint, safety exposure, quality risk, drawing conflict, or critical material shortage to remain informal or unowned. Maintain accurate Constraint Log / Area Board information and ensure issue category, owner, action, due time, status, and escalation are visible. Support employee qualification and OJT by pairing Level 1/2 employees with qualified Level 3/4 personnel and preventing unqualified independent work. Act as a trainer only for job functions where the Lead has achieved the required Level 4 qualification; use released training/WI content and document training evidence as required. Coach employees on standard work, safe tool use, quality self-inspection, controlled torque, material identification, documentation, 5S, and abnormality escalation. Verify technicians are working to the correct revision of drawings, BOMs, travelers, work instructions, and approved deviations before and during execution. Perform or support qualified assembly work when floor coordination is stable and doing so does not compromise leadership visibility or response time. Coordinate first-level material recovery with Material Handling/Warehouse; identify shortages accurately and avoid uncontrolled substitutions or material changes. Coordinate first-level Quality support for defects, inspection questions, holds, rework verification, and gate readiness; protect suspect product from moving downstream. Coordinate first-level Engineering/Test support for drawing conflicts, technical questions, test failures, tooling/process issues, and other conditions outside released standard work. Ensure torque, inspection, traveler, material, production, test, and other required records are completed at the point of work and are not backfilled from memory. Support first-build time studies, work-sequence observations, tooling/fixture trials, work-instruction feedback, and labor-content data collection with Engineering and the Supervisor. Perform routine floor checks for safety, 5S, foreign material, WIP control, material presentation, tool condition, quality status, and adherence to standard work. Assist with breaks, manpower moves, station/work-zone coverage, and priority changes while ensuring employees remain within their qualifications. Escalate attendance, conduct, performance, repeated standard-work noncompliance, or employee-relations concerns to the Supervisor rather than independently administering formal discipline unless specifically authorized by policy. Provide an accurate handoff to the Supervisor/next Lead covering WIP, completed work, constraints, shortages, holds, rework, tooling/equipment issues, staffing/skills concerns, and required follow-up. Promote respectful teamwork, early problem identification, stop-and-escalate behavior, cross-training, and continuous improvement.

Demonstrated ability to guide peers, communicate priorities, identify problems, and maintain safe/quality-focused work execution. Ability to read or learn technical drawings, work instructions, BOMs, travelers, and production documentation. Ability to use common hand/power tools and applicable assembly tools after qualification; role-specific technical qualifications depend on assigned workstreams.

Performance Expectations Safety:

recognizes hazards, reinforces required controls, and immediately stops/escalates unsafe conditions.

Quality:

reinforces released requirements and self-inspection and prevents known defects or suspect work from moving forward.

Delivery:

keeps assignments and priorities clear, surfaces constraints early, and supports recovery without bypassing standards.

People:

supports OJT, qualification growth, teamwork, and clear communication while escalating formal people issues to the Supervisor.

Documentation:

keeps Area Board, constraint, production, traveler, torque, quality, and training information accurate and timely.

Floor Control:

remains visible at Gemba, knows current WIP/status, and can explain the top constraints and next actions.

Teamwork:

coordinates effectively with Operations, Quality, Engineering, Material/Warehouse, Training, Test, EHS, and Maintenance.

Continuous Improvement:

identifies recurring waste/problems and helps convert startup learning into improved standard work. Physical & Work Environment Work is performed in an active manufacturing environment and requires substantial floor presence. The employee may stand/walk for extended periods, bend, reach, climb approved access equipment, use required PPE, and work around material-handling traffic, powered tools/equipment, and mechanical/electrical assembly activities. When performing hands-on assembly, the employee must meet the physical and qualification requirements of the assigned task. Exact lifting limits, environmental exposures, schedule expectations, and accommodation language should be validated by EHS and HR once workstations are finalized. Role Boundaries During Startup The Lead coordinates execution but does not replace the Supervisor's formal people-management/accountability responsibilities, Engineering design authority, Quality disposition authority, EHS authority, or controlled-document/change processes. The Lead may perform or train work only when appropriately qualified. Released engineering documents, approved work instructions, quality plans, safety procedures, and formal deviations take precedence over verbal direction. During startup, the role may function as a working Lead; this should be reassessed as headcount, number of active work fronts, and production rate increase.
