Job Description

Summary

Key Responsibilities

• Lead day-to-day maintenance operations across production equipment and facility systems (HVAC, compressors, utilities, etc.)

• Troubleshoot and diagnose mechanical and electrical issues to minimize downtime

• Perform hands-on maintenance and repairs as needed (not solely supervisory)

• Develop and implement a preventative maintenance (PM) program for equipment and facility assets

• Coordinate with external vendors and contractors for specialized repairs and support

• Support equipment installation, commissioning, and ramp-up as the facility grows

• Ensure maintenance activities align with safety standards and operational best practices

• Train and mentor a small team of junior/apprentice technicians (2–3 direct reports)

• Monitor equipment performance and recommend improvements to increase reliability and efficiency
