In addition to a competitive salary and annual performance bonus, Maintenance Supervisors at our Feversham facility are eligible for an additional $12,500 annual Maintenance Loyalty Bonus, recognizing the critical role our maintenance leaders play in keeping our operation running at its best.

• Foster a positive, accountable team culture built on communication, collaboration, and continuous improvement.
• Conduct regular one-on-one meetings and performance discussions to support employee engagement and development.
• Diagnose mechanical and electrical issues while supporting innovative solutions to minimize downtime.
• Modify, repair, install, maintain, and troubleshoot production equipment, utilities, and facility systems.
• Manage preventive and predictive maintenance programs to maximize equipment reliability and performance.
• Monitor maintenance inventory levels and coordinate procurement of required parts and supplies.
• Filter, prioritize, assign, and monitor maintenance work orders to ensure timely completion and CMMS compliance.
• Track equipment performance KPIs and support initiatives to improve reliability and reduce downtime.
• Manage repair and maintenance (R&M) costs while maintaining equipment performance.
• Lead daily, weekly, and monthly maintenance meetings while coordinating priorities with production and other departments.
• Conduct routine inspections of production equipment and facilities to identify opportunities for improvement.
• Promote and maintain the highest standards of health, safety, housekeeping, and regulatory compliance.
• Coordinate OEMs and contractors during major shutdowns, installations, and equipment upgrades.
• Participate in the maintenance on-call rotation and provide leadership support during off-hours when required.

What We're Looking For

• Minimum 5 years of maintenance experience within a high-speed manufacturing or packaging environment (food and beverage experience preferred).
• Previous experience leading maintenance teams in a supervisory, lead hand, or similar leadership capacity.
• Strong mechanical aptitude combined with electrical and PLC troubleshooting experience.
• Demonstrated ability to coach, mentor, and develop technical employees.
• Experience with CMMS systems, preventive maintenance programs, and equipment reliability initiatives.
• Strong understanding of maintenance planning, scheduling, and shift coverage.
• Excellent communication and leadership skills with the ability to influence and motivate diverse maintenance teams.
• Proven problem-solving, organizational, and decision-making abilities.
• Strong knowledge of Health & Safety legislation, Lockout/Tagout procedures, and safe maintenance practices.
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office and computerized maintenance management systems.
• Flexible to participate in an on-call rotation and respond to after-hours emergencies when required.
