An established manufacturer is seeking a Maintenance Manager to lead a sizable maintenance organization within a complex production environment. This opportunity is best suited for a technically capable, financially minded leader who can develop people, strengthen accountability, improve preventive maintenance execution, and drive greater equipment reliability. Key Responsibilities: Lead a maintenance organization of approximately 35–40 team members through two maintenance leaders and a team lead. Drive execution and accountability within an established preventive maintenance program, ensuring work is completed and documented accurately. Lead root-cause investigations following equipment failures and implement corrective actions that prevent recurring downtime. Oversee maintenance budgets, forecasting, vendor relationships, capital projects, repair spending, and cost-reduction initiatives. Support the reliability of production equipment and facility systems across multiple buildings and manufacturing operations. Communicate equipment issues, repair priorities and operational risks clearly across shifts and to plant leadership. Partner with operations, engineering, safety, purchasing, and senior maintenance leadership on equipment and facility decisions. Coach maintenance leaders and technicians while establishing clear expectations around safety, integrity, follow-through, and performance. Qualifications: Previous maintenance management experience within a large manufacturing operation, preferably automotive or another equipment-intensive environment. Experience leading supervisors, team leads, and skilled maintenance technicians across multiple shifts. Strong technical aptitude with the ability to understand equipment failures, challenge incomplete information, and guide effective troubleshooting. Demonstrated experience managing maintenance budgets, forecasting expenses, working with vendors, and supporting capital projects. Working knowledge of preventive maintenance programs, CMMS documentation, root-cause analysis, safety practices, and continuous improvement. Ability to remain composed under pressure, make informed decisions and communicate openly with plant and senior leadership. Practical, patient leadership style with the judgement to hold others accountable without overcomplicating execution.
