Your Job

Georgia-Pacific has an exciting opportunity for a talented Asset Availability Leader to support our Converting area within our Palatka, FL manufacturing operation.

The Asset Availability Leader (AAL) is responsible for supporting efforts to create an environment where the team achieves zero incidents in Environmental, Health and Safety.

The person filling the AAL role collects, categorizes, analyzes and reports production data.

That information is then assimilated to identify and prioritize opportunities to eliminate the primary causes for production losses through value-based gap analysis.

This is followed by collaboration with key personnel within the facility and organization to develop and execute gap closure plans to identify the highest valued opportunities.

Our Team

The Palatka mill and its products are a critical part of GP's Consumer Products portfolio, including high-profile Angel Soft®, Quilted Northern®, Brawny®, and Sparkle® brands.

GP has invested heavily at Palatka in recent years to deliver competitive tissue and towel products including a new towel paper machine.
