Reliability and Maintenance Operations Supervisor

A day in the role

Each morning, you review incoming work orders, huddle with your mechanics and technicians, and map out the day. You set priorities, assign tasks, and provide hands-on technical guidance so the team is clear on what success looks like.

Lead the team

• Direct daily work assignments and offer on-the-spot technical instruction to mechanics and technicians.
• Oversee scheduling, coordinate coverage, and handle performance evaluations.
• Build capability through training and skill development plans.
• Champion safety practices and ensure adherence to OSHA standards, Lockout/Tagout (LOTO), and PPE policies.

Run the shop and keep assets online

• Own day-to-day shop flow, from work order prioritization through completion and closeout.
• Strengthen and enforce a Preventive Maintenance (PM) program that reduces downtime and prolongs equipment life.
• Diagnose, troubleshoot, and direct repairs for processing equipment and facility systems across mechanical, electrical, pneumatic, and hydraulic disciplines.

Control costs and manage parts

• Monitor maintenance spending and keep the department within budget.
• Track spare parts, manage suppliers and contractors, and negotiate pricing for materials, services, and repairs.
• Maintain logs and KPIs on equipment reliability, maintenance costs, and repair turnaround times.

If you’re energized by leading people, elevating reliability, and making every maintenance dollar count, this role puts you at the center of it all.
