Program Managers & Expert Advisors

Nebraska Manufacturing Extension Partnership • Gig/Task-Based • Lincoln, Nebraska Metropolitan Area, US • 1m ago

We’re looking for people who get manufacturing - because you’ve lived it. Plant floors, production headaches, real people, real margins. Not just slide decks and buzzwords.

These full time and fractional consulting leadership roles are for someone who loves helping manufacturers get better, isn’t afraid to get their boots dirty, and believes Nebraska manufacturing deserves smart, practical, bold and forward-thinking support.

If you’ve worked in manufacturing (or spent serious time with manufacturers), love solving real problems, and think Nebraska is the best place to make stuff - let’s talk.

Bonus points if you:

Have strong opinions about forklifts, pallet sizes, or where tools should live
Asks “what problem are we actually trying to solve?” at least once a day
Know the difference between theory and Tuesday on the shop floor
Understand that onboarding is a retention strategy, not an HR formality
Have helped a plant go from “held together by heroes” to “runs on systems”

Great manufacturers deserve great support, which is why we’re continuing to build our bench of experts - each bringing real depth in one lane, including lean manufacturing, leadership and workforce development, Industry 4.0 / AI, or cybersecurity.

If this sounds like something you’d enjoy being part of, we’d love to connect.
