Job description

Location: Çorlu (Ergene), Tekirdağ, Türkiye

Why this role matters

You will keep our Çorlu factory running safely, reliably and efficiently. Every product that leaves our site depends on equipment that works when it should. In this role you lead the maintenance function and turn reliability into a competitive advantage. You reduce downtime, control costs and build the capabilities we need for the future. Your work directly supports our people’s safety, our product quality and our ability to deliver for customers.

What You’ll Do

• Lead the maintenance team across mechanical, electrical and automation disciplines, including planning, scheduling and shift coverage.
• Build and run preventive and predictive maintenance programmes to reduce unplanned downtime.
• Own the maintenance budget, spare parts strategy and contractor management.
• Drive root cause analysis on breakdowns and lead continuous improvement projects with production and engineering.
• Ensure all maintenance activities follow safety, environmental and legal requirements, including permit-to-work and LOTO.

• Use SAP PM to manage work orders, asset history and maintenance KPIs.

Performance

You will own the reliability of our assets and the performance of the maintenance function.

You turn data into clear priorities and make sure the team delivers on them.

Care

This role reports to the Regional Operations Director, Emerging Markets and works closely with Production, Quality, SHE, Engineering and Supply Chain teams. You lead and develop a team of technicians and engineers, building their skills and creating a culture where safety comes first and everyone takes ownership. You also manage relationships with external contractors and suppliers to keep standards high and costs under control.

Passion

You care about how things work and how they can work better. You enjoy solving problems at their root, not just fixing them for today. You take pride in a well-run plant and in a team that grows with every challenge. You are curious about new technologies such as predictive maintenance, automation and digital tools, and you want to bring them to life on the shop floor.
