Job Description

Maintenance Lead, High-Speed Packaging Systems

Totowa, NJ | $95,000 – $120,000

Imagine this scenario

A labeling line starts drifting out of spec as film characteristics change. Operators see skew; your techs suspect a tension issue. You step in—observe the web path, verify dancer response, and review Siemens PLC input states to pinpoint a misreading. With a quick mechanical adjustment and a sensor realignment, the line snaps back to target. The crew learns, downtime shrinks, and production hits the goal. That blend of coaching and tactical troubleshooting is your sweet spot—about 80% leading , 20% hands-on .

Role focus
  • Guide a 7-person maintenance team —set priorities, mentor, and build capability.
  • Tackle complex problems that span mechanics, controls, and material behavior.
  • Keep both automated and manual equipment performing at peak.
  • Own care and uptime for:
    • Labeling equipment
    • Tube filling machines
    • Cellophane overwrapping systems
  • Work with European-manufactured machinery using Siemens PLCs—troubleshooting only; no programming required.
  • Partner with production to minimize downtime and boost overall efficiency.
What sets you up for success
  • Deep mechanical aptitude and a knack for diagnosing unfamiliar faults.
  • PLC troubleshooting experience without the need to code.
  • Background in personal care, pharma, or food production environments.
  • Proven leadership in maintenance or operations; excellent English communication.
  • Bilingual (Spanish/English) preferred.
Proficiencies we value
  • Leadership and people management
  • Spanish language capability
  • Supervisory experience
  • Packaging line know-how
  • Equipment repair and maintenance
Compensation & benefits
  • 401(k) plan
  • 30 days of combined vacation and holidays
  • Stable, long-term opportunity within a growing company

Note: Medical benefits are not currently offered.

Culture & impact

We’re an established, family-run business with strong recent performance and ongoing investments in operations. Join a close, long-tenured team where your leadership has immediate, visible impact.
