Job Description

Lead Maintenance Technician 2nd Shift

Location: Milwaukee, WI
Type: Full-Time
Schedule: 2nd Shift

Join Our Team as a Manufacturing Maintenance Lead in Food Manufacturing

Are you an industrial maintenance professional with a strong background in food processing or bakery manufacturing?

Do you have a passion for leading teams to promote process improvement, optimization and ensuring the efficient operation of production equipment? If so, we have an exciting opportunity for you!

Palermo’s is a leader in the food manufacturing industry, known for our high-quality products and commitment to excellence. We are seeking an experienced Manufacturing Maintenance Lead to oversee our shift maintenance operations and ensure the reliability of our equipment.

As a Maintenance Lead, you will be responsible for leading a shift team of maintenance technicians and ensuring that all equipment is properly maintained and repaired. You will play a crucial role in minimizing downtime, optimizing equipment performance, and ensuring compliance with all relevant regulations and standards.

If you have a proven track record of success in maintenance leadership roles within the food manufacturing industry, we want to hear from you. Join us and be part of a team that is dedicated to producing high-quality food products for consumers around the world.

We offer a $7,000 sign-on bonus! Our Manufacturing Maintenance Lead roles range from $40.00 to $50.00 per hour PLUS premiums on weekends and holidays.

Perks…

· $7,000 Sign-On Bonus!

· 20 Free Pizzas per Month

· Free uniforms & reimbursement for safety shoes, prescription safety glasses, and tools

· On-the-Job Training & Career Growth Opportunities

· Fantastic Benefits starting the 1st of the Month after Hire

· 401(k) & Roth with Company Match – Fully Vested on the 1st of the Month after Hire

· $50 Monthly Cell Phone Reimbursement

· $5.00 per Hour Off-Shift Premiums

· Relocation Assistance available if applicable


Where you’ll work…

· This role is based at our flagship frozen pizza manufacturing facility in Milwaukee, WI on Canal Street in Milwaukee’s Menomonee River Valley—a state-of-the-art facility that includes an on-site bakery, high-speed packaging lines, and a 24-hour shipping operation.

· Our Maintenance Team contributes to Palermo’s success by ensuring that our Plant operates at a world-class level with production uptimes over 98%.


When you’ll work…

We are currently hiring a Maintenance Lead on 2nd Shift:

· 2nd Shift (2pm-10:30pm)

· Our maintenance team members work every other weekend and enjoy a 5-day workweek by scheduling days off on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, or Thursdays. Overtime opportunities are also available for those who want to earn more. Schedules may also require occasional coverage across other shifts as business needs arise.


What you’ll do…

· Lead the maintenance team to ensure production lines are maintained, repaired, and optimized to keep Palermo’s running at 98.5% uptime.

· Coach, develop, and inspire your team through projects that involve installing, repairing, rebuilding, and maintaining machinery and mechanical equipment.

· Work hands-on with equipment—from installation to rebuilds, fitting, and aligning—to meet safety, quality, and efficiency standards.

· Demonstrate strong electrical knowledge and troubleshooting skills on PLCs, VFDs, servos, robotics, and programmable devices.


Why you’ll be successful…

· Proven ability to lead safely, following food and people safety guidelines.

· 8+ years’ experience leading maintenance teams in mechanical repair, plumbing, welding, and electrical troubleshooting.

· Strong problem-solving skills in fast-paced, time-sensitive situations.

· A growth mindset and interest in mastering new technologies.

· Excellent communication skills and a team-first leadership style.


Who you’ll work for…

While most companies that sell pizza have no real connection to Italy, Palermo’s passion for food and family reaches all the way back to Sicily, where “Papa Palermo” first carried cherished recipes to America.

Innovation is at the heart of who we are. We use an entrepreneurial, forward-thinking approach resulting in high-quality products that are consistently recognized by both the industry and consumers.

Our commitment to quality has made Palermo’s a leader in private label frozen pizza and contract manufacturing!
