Much of your team's work is planned rather than continuous emergency response.You'll:Assign and drive completion of scheduled preventive and corrective maintenance.Coordinate troubleshooting of mechanical, electrical, automation, and controls issues.Lead equipment shutdown, disassembly, reassembly, and production startup support.Use CMMS data and maintenance KPIs to manage labor utilization, PM compliance, work orders, and equipment performance.Coach and develop a team of approximately 10 mechanics and electrical/controls trades.Partner with Operations, Engineering, Sanitation, FSQA, and other maintenance leaders.Maintain high standards for safety, quality, food safety, and work execution.Industrial maintenance | Mechanical systems | Electrical troubleshooting | PLCs/HMIs | VFDs & motor controls | Instrumentation | Automation & controls | Preventive maintenance | CMMS | Equipment reliabilityYou need enough technical breadth to effectively lead multiple trades—but you do not need to be the most advanced technician in every discipline.Within your first year, you'll be working toward:Labor utilization consistently above 80%PM work-order compliance at or above 90%Improved schedule compliance and reduced maintenance-related downtimeSkill matrices and active development plans for all direct reportsA safer, more accountable, increasingly self-sufficient maintenance teamApproximately 5+ years of industrial/manufacturing leadership experienceExperience leading or directing multidisciplinary maintenance workExperience with preventive, corrective, and emergency maintenance in an automated manufacturing environmentWorking knowledge across mechanical, electrical, automation, and controls systemsExperience using a CMMS and maintenance KPIs to manage work execution and performanceA track record of establishing priorities, accountability, and strong communication across teamsThis is a 3rd-shift role in a cold, wet food-manufacturing environment.
