• Sanitation and cleaning standards across production areas
• Manage outside vendors and contractors, source spare parts, and track the maintenance budget

• 3–5+ years of maintenance or facilities experience, ideally in manufacturing. Cosmetics, food, beverage, pharma, or nutraceuticals preferred
• Experience supervising or leading at least one other person
