The ideal candidate blends strategic leadership with deep technical expertise in automation, robotics, and data‑driven maintenance methodologies to minimize downtime and optimize production quality.

ABOUT US:

Stanley Electric US is a full‑service, tier one supplier to Honda, specializing in the design and production of lighting equipment, accessories, and electronic components. Our London, Ohio facility houses lighting and mold design, construction, production engineering, and dedicated associates in our Quality, Assembly, Sales, and Customer Service departments. At Stanley, we blaze our own trail to a brilliant future by daring to outshine light.

HOW YOU WILL OUTSHINE:

• Demonstrating solid organization skills
• Being attentive to every detail

• Solving problems
• Working well independently and with a team

WHAT YOU WILL BE DOING:

This role ensures maximum equipment availability, reliability, and safety while driving continuous improvement by:

KPI Achievement & Asset Reliability

• Downtime Management: Own, track, and meet strict plant equipment downtime and OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness) targets.
• Preventive & Predictive Maintenance: Standardize, execute, and audit the PM schedule. Shift the culture from reactive to predictive maintenance using advanced diagnostics and data.
• Root Cause Analysis (RCA): Lead engineering and technician teams in troubleshooting chronic equipment failures to eliminate recurring issues.
• Cross-Shift Team Coordination: Provide direct leadership, technical mentorship, and alignment to evening and weekend technician crews to ensure maintenance standards do not drop outside of standard business hours.
• Emergency Response & Escalation: Serve as the primary technical point of contact or escalation path for critical equipment breakdowns during evenings and weekends, ensuring rapid deployment of resources to minimize emergency downtime.
• Equipment Uptime Actions: Develop, implement, and track targeted action plans utilizing Lean/Six Sigma tools to continuously improve machine reliability and cycle times.
• Reject & Scrap Reduction: Collaborate closely with Quality and Production teams to identify mechanical, electrical, or robotic factors contributing to product defects. Formulate and execute engineering action plans to eliminate process variation and reduce rejects.
• Capital Projects (CapEx): Assist in the evaluation, installation, and commissioning of new automated assembly lines and equipment upgrades.

Workforce Development & Technical Training

• Upskilling Strategy: Assess the technical skill gaps of the maintenance team against rapidly evolving automation technologies (e.g., advanced robotics, vision systems, PLC logic, and smart sensors).
• Training Delivery: Establish ongoing, structured internal and external training programs to ensure technicians remain subject matter experts on modern manufacturing tech.
• Mentorship: Foster a high-performance culture focused on safety, precision, and proactive problem-solving.

Budgeting & Inventory Management

• MRO Management: Manage the maintenance budget, optimizing spend on spare parts, external contractors, and shop consumables.
• Critical Spares: Maintain a robust critical‑spare‑parts inventory strategy to prevent prolonged downtime due to part stockouts.

Success Factors:

The success of this role will be measured by:

• Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) and Mean Time to Repair (MTTR)
• Unplanned Downtime % vs. Plant Targets
• PM Compliance Rate (Completion vs. Schedule)
• Scrap/Reject Rate Reduction on automated lines
• Training Matrix Completion % for maintenance staff

• Experience: 5+ years of maintenance leadership experience specifically within a highly automated assembly or manufacturing environment (e.g., automotive, electronics, high‑speed packaging).
• Automation Expertise: Deep understanding of PLCs (e.g., Mitsubishi, Allen‑Bradley), industrial robotics (e.g., FANUC, EPSON, MITSUBISHI, KUKA, ABB), vision systems, and automated conveyor systems.
• Systems Literacy: Proficient in utilizing CMMS (Computerized Maintenance Management Systems) software to drive data‑based decisions.
• Methodologies: Strong command of TPM (Total Productive Maintenance), Kaizen, 5S, and FMEA (Failure Mode and Effects Analysis).

Leadership

• Action-Oriented: Proven ability to turn data into concrete, executable action plans.
• Communication: Ability to break down complex technical issues into clear concepts for executive leadership and production teams alike.
