Lead the Team. Keep the Operation Moving.

C&C Produce is looking for an experienced, hands-on Maintenance Supervisor to lead maintenance operations at our North Kansas City facilities. This is an opportunity for a strong maintenance professional who enjoys solving problems, developing technicians, improving preventive maintenance programs, and keeping critical equipment running safely and reliably.

This is not a desk-only supervisor role . We're looking for someone who can lead the maintenance team while also stepping in to troubleshoot complex mechanical, electrical, refrigeration, HVAC, PLC, and facility issues when needed.

If you have industrial maintenance experience, strong troubleshooting skills, and are ready to take ownership of equipment reliability and facility maintenance, we want to hear from you.

About C&C Produce

C&C Produce, a division of GS Foods Group , has served customers throughout the Midwest since 1992. What began as a family-run produce company has grown into a leading food distribution operation supporting schools, healthcare facilities, restaurants, and foodservice organizations.

Our fast-paced operation depends on reliable equipment, safe facilities, and a strong maintenance team-and this position plays a critical role in keeping our business moving.

Lead & Develop the Maintenance Team

• Supervise, schedule, coach, and support maintenance technicians.

• Provide hands-on technical guidance during complex repairs and equipment failures.
• Train and develop technicians to strengthen the team's technical capabilities.
• Promote accountability, teamwork, safety, and quality workmanship.
• Partner closely with Operations leadership to minimize downtime and support production and distribution needs.

Own Equipment Reliability & Preventive Maintenance

• Manage and continuously improve the facility's preventive maintenance program .
• Ensure preventive and corrective maintenance is completed accurately and on schedule.
• Identify recurring equipment issues and implement long-term corrective solutions.

• Electrical and mechanical systems

• Motors, sensors, relays, switches, and controls
• Hydraulic and pneumatic systems
• HVAC and refrigeration systems
• Conveyors and material-handling equipment
• Plumbing and facility systems
• Welding, fabrication, carpentry, and general facility repairs

You'll also support emergency repairs and equipment breakdowns when necessary to get operations safely back online.

Safety, Food Safety & Compliance

• Maintain accurate maintenance records, repair documentation, and service histories.
• Ensure maintenance activities meet OSHA, food safety, sanitation, and company requirements.
• Maintain safe work practices, including proper lockout/tagout procedures.
• Coordinate contractors, vendors, and outside service providers when specialized support is required.
• Identify opportunities to improve equipment safety, reliability, and overall facility performance.

What We're Looking For

Required:

• 5+ years of industrial, manufacturing, warehouse, food distribution, or similar maintenance experience.
• Strong hands-on mechanical and electrical troubleshooting ability.
• Experience diagnosing equipment failures and identifying root causes.
• Working knowledge of electrical systems, hydraulics, HVAC, refrigeration, PLCs, and/or automated equipment.
• Ability to read schematics, diagrams, manuals, and technical documentation.

• High school diploma or GED.
• Valid driver's license.
• Ability to lift up to 50 pounds and regularly stand, bend, climb, kneel, and work around industrial equipment.
• Ability to respond to occasional after-hours maintenance emergencies when operationally necessary.

Preferred:

• 2+ years of maintenance leadership, lead, or supervisory experience.
• Experience in food distribution, food manufacturing, cold storage, warehouse, or production environments .
• Experience with commercial or industrial refrigeration systems .
• HVAC, refrigeration, electrical, industrial maintenance, or building maintenance certification.
• Experience developing or managing preventive maintenance programs.
• Experience with CMMS/work-order systems.

The Right Person for This Role

You'll likely thrive here if you're the person others call when equipment goes down because you can stay calm, diagnose the problem, and get to the root cause.

We're looking for a leader who can develop people, establish maintenance standards, improve preventive maintenance, and still roll up their sleeves when the operation needs technical support.

Why Join C&C Produce?

You'll have the opportunity to make a visible impact on a growing operation where maintenance is critical to our success. You'll work directly with operational leadership, influence equipment reliability and facility improvements, and help build a stronger maintenance program and team.

Compensation: $80,000-$95,000 annually, based on experience and qualifications.
