Are you the reliability leader who turns downtime into data-driven gains?
If you see safety as non-negotiable, OEE as a promise to keep, and continuous improvement as a daily habit, this role is for you. You’ll orchestrate maintenance engineering for the entire plant—protecting uptime, empowering people, and building a facility that performs at its best every single shift.
What you'll do
- Relentlessly improve machine uptime and OEE against company benchmarks.
- Put employees and equipment safety first; apply and enforce HSE guidelines.
- Diagnose and resolve equipment and machinery issues to keep production flowing.
- Work hand-in-hand with Production to achieve company objectives and hit daily targets.
- Install, commission, maintain, and relocate machinery; execute new plant layouts.
- Supervise outside contractors and verify safe, high-quality work.
- Keep thorough maintenance records; chart trends per SOPs and our QMS.
- Ensure compliance with company policies, safety regulations, Environmental standards, and IATF 16949.
- Lead emergency repairs anywhere in the plant to minimize impact.
- Maintain 5S and high housekeeping standards throughout the facility.
- Coordinate with Purchasing for spares, tooling, and supplies; manage vendor relationships.
- Safeguard uptime with a well-managed critical spare parts inventory.
- Motivate and involve team members; collect and act on improvement suggestions.
- Hit departmental goals while driving continuous improvements in MTTR and MTBF.
- Act decisively on safety, maintenance, and process issues with corrective actions.
- Join daily production meetings; commit to and deliver on action items.
- Follow best practices and comply with regulations governing powered industrial equipment.
- Perform other duties as assigned.
How you'll lead
- Schedule, execute, and document preventive and predictive maintenance.
- Train, direct, develop, supervise, and evaluate maintenance personnel.
- Use data to prioritize work, prevent recurrence, and sustain improvements.
What you bring
- Proven background leading industrial maintenance in a manufacturing setting.
- Strong troubleshooting skills and calm command during emergency repairs.
- Experience with PM/PdM systems, 5S, and continuous improvement tools.
- Knowledge of QMS requirements, Environmental standards, and IATF 16949.
- Ability to coordinate contractors, manage spares, and partner effectively with Purchasing and Production.
- Fluency with reliability metrics (OEE, MTTR, MTBF) and how to improve them.
Your first 90 days
- Stabilize a preventive and predictive maintenance cadence with complete records.
- Audit critical spares and close gaps that threaten uptime.
- Run a rapid root-cause program to cut repeat failures and MTTR.
- Refresh 5S, establish a safety-first cadence, and align with HSE best practices.
- Create a roadmap for upcoming installations, relocations, and plant layout improvements.
