Maintenance Manager

MAINTENANCE MANAGER | FOOD & DAIRY MANUFACTURING | TEXAS
We are partnering with a growing food manufacturer to identify a

Maintenance Manager

for a highly invested manufacturing facility in Texas.
This is a newly created position within a plant that has

significant growth ahead . The facility operates 24/7, has recently added new production capabilities and is expected to

double capacity by the end of 2027 .
We aren't looking for someone who manages maintenance from an office.
The team wants a

"floor general" —a technically strong, hands-on leader who understands the equipment, can diagnose what's happening on a line and has the leadership and organizational skills to build a highly effective maintenance operation.
What you'll be taking on:
Lead day-to-day maintenance execution and equipment reliability
Partner closely with Operations and Quality to minimize downtime and improve plant performance
Strengthen preventive and predictive maintenance programs
Support TPM and Autonomous Maintenance implementation
Work with sophisticated automated packaging technology, including

GEA thermoformers and ABB robotics
Apply strong knowledge of

PLCs, sequencing logic and automated equipment troubleshooting
Improve CMMS utilization, maintenance planning and organizational follow-through
Provide technical leadership across mechanical, electrical, refrigeration, boiler, hydraulic and utility systems
Develop maintenance talent and build stronger capabilities throughout the organization
We're particularly interested in leaders who have

grown through the technical ranks

and bring significant food/dairy manufacturing experience. You'll need the technical credibility to challenge your team and solve problems, but equally important is the ability to

lead people, create accountability and build strong partnerships with Operations .
Why consider the location?

The Texas Panhandle offers a different quality of life— affordable housing, short commutes, wide-open spaces and year-round outdoor recreation , along with a strong manufacturing and agricultural community. It's an opportunity to have more space, less congestion and a lower cost of living while building your career within a growing manufacturing operation.
Please note that relocation will be offered, if applicable.
