This site supports high-speed processing and packaging lines and continues to invest in reliability, equipment upgrades, and long-term workforce stability.

· Step in on complex mechanical and electrical troubleshooting as needed
· Drive continuous improvement through better planning, documentation, and standard work practices
What We’re Looking For
· Bachelor’s degree required, ideally in Mechanical, Electrical, or Industrial Engineering
· 5+ years of maintenance leadership experience in a food, packaged goods, or closely related manufacturing environment
· Union maintenance experience is required
· Strong hands-on background in both mechanical and electrical systems
· Proven ability to lead, coach, and hold teams accountable in a structured environment
· Comfortable working in fast-paced, production-driven operations
· Strong communication skills and the ability to work cross-functionally
