ABOUT THE ROLE

The Corporate Maintenance Manager provides multi-site engineering and maintenance leadership, owning the design, implementation, and continuous improvement of the company-wide maintenance and asset reliability framework. This is a high-impact leadership role with direct people-management responsibility for the Plant Maintenance Managers across all facilities. The role is accountable for building the system, leading and developing site leadership, driving consistent site-level execution, and ensuring every failure results in a measurable improvement. The position also partners with operations, quality, EHS, and supply chain to align engineering and maintenance strategy with broader business objectives and supports capital project planning and equipment standardization across the network.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

Build & Standardize the Maintenance System

• Design and govern spare parts, consumables, and tooling systems across all sites

• Build Preventative Maintenance (PM) programs, asset structures, and execution standards

• Own and govern the CMMS (MVP) system structure and usage

Drive Site-Level Execution

• Directly manage, coach, and develop the Plant Maintenance Managers - setting expectations, conducting performance reviews, and removing execution barriers (staffing, training, tooling, vendor support)

• Build a strong, accountable site engineering and maintenance leadership team through hiring, mentoring, succession planning, and consistent performance management

• Intervene in underperforming sites on backlog, downtime, and KPI misses

• Standardize training methodologies: SME model, OEM support, cross-training

Own Performance & Continuous Improvement

• Investigate NDA part orders, major downtime events, and KPI variances

• Update standards (PMs, inventory, training, tooling) based on root cause findings

• Drive KPI performance across all facilities - every failure results in a system-level improvement

• Support capital project planning, equipment standardization, and new-line introductions across sites, partnering with operations, quality, and EHS to deliver reliable, maintainable assets

SUCCESS METRICS

• PM backlog: zero tolerance for SPOF-related backlog

• Unplanned maintenance: target <20%, goal ~5%

• Inventory accuracy, NDA orders, and consumables budget adherence

• Tool audit performance and maintenance labor utilization (% booked in MVP)

• 90-day: all aseptic PMs defined, loaded in MVP, managers trained, SMEs engaged

QUALIFICATIONS

Required

• Proven experience building maintenance systems in a multi-site manufacturing environment

• Strong background in PM program development and CMMS administration

• Track record of driving measurable improvement in maintenance KPIs

• Demonstrated experience directly managing and developing salaried maintenance or engineering leaders, including managers responsible for their own teams

• Bachelor's degree in engineering or a related technical field, or equivalent experience, with a track record of multi-site engineering and maintenance leadership

Preferred

• Experience in food & beverage or aseptic/sterile processing environments

• Familiarity with SPOF analysis and asset criticality prioritization

• Background in structured training development (SME models, OEM coordination)

AUTHORITY

The Corporate Maintenance Manager holds full authority to enforce engineering and maintenance standards across all facilities, mandate process changes, approve maintenance-related expenditure, and own the MVP system structure. The Plant Maintenance Managers report directly to this role, which is accountable for their performance, development, and day-to-day direction; each Plant Maintenance Manager retains a dotted-line relationship to their respective Plant Manager for site coordination.

Responsibilities may evolve as organizational needs change.
