Engineering-Driven Maintenance Leader — Plant Reliability

Greystone, Inc.; Lincoln, Northern (RI, KY); Hybrid; USD 95,000 - 125,000; Full time

Job summary

Greystone, Inc. is seeking a Maintenance Manager to lead the plant's maintenance and equipment reliability program, emphasizing engineering-driven problem solving on Hydromat rotary transfer machines, CNC equipment, and plant infrastructure.

The Maintenance Manager builds and owns a preventive/predictive maintenance program, leads the maintenance team, and partners with Process Engineering and Operations to keep equipment capable, safe, and available.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical, Electrical, Manufacturing, or Industrial Engineering.
• 3+ years of experience in industrial maintenance, reliability engineering, or equipment engineering in a manufacturing environment.
• Working knowledge of electrical, hydraulic, pneumatic, and PLC/controls systems on CNC or rotary transfer machine tools; Hydromat experience strongly preferred.
• Demonstrated experience applying root cause analysis (FMEA, 8D, 5-why) to eliminate recurring equipment failures, not just resolve individual breakdowns.
• Experience building or managing a preventive/predictive maintenance program and associated CMMS.
• Working knowledge of applicable safety regulations (OSHA, lockout/tagout, machine guarding).

Responsibilities

• Lead and develop the maintenance technician team, setting priorities, standards, and accountability for both reactive repairs and planned work.
• Apply engineering analysis (root cause failure analysis, FMEA, reliability data) to recurring equipment failures rather than treating repairs as one-off events.
• Design or specify engineering fixes - modified components, guarding, controls changes, upgraded work-holding or tooling interfaces - to eliminate chronic failure modes on Hydromat and CNC equipment.
• Build and continuously improve a preventive and predictive maintenance program (vibration analysis, thermography, oil analysis, PLC/controls diagnostics) rather than running on a purely calendar-based PM schedule.
• Own equipment uptime, MTBF/MTTR, and maintenance cost metrics; report performance and improvement plans to plant leadership.
• Partner with Process Engineering and Operations on machine rebuilds, retrofits, and capital equipment specification, bringing a maintenance/reliability perspective into equipment purchase decisions.
• Manage the maintenance parts inventory, critical spares strategy, and vendor relationships for outside repair and controls support.
• Develop and maintain maintenance documentation, equipment history, and procedures within the CMMS/ERP system.
• Ensure maintenance activities comply with applicable safety (OSHA, lockout/tagout) and quality/regulatory requirements, including ISO 9001/AS9100 and, where applicable, ITAR and CMMC.
• Manage the maintenance budget, including labor, parts, contracted services, and capital repair/replacement planning.
