Role Overview

We are seeking a data driven, accountability focused Maintenance & Reliability Manager to lead the transformation of our maintenance organization.

• Ensure the team understands the mission, the plan, and their role in achieving it.
• Speak up and take action to protect your own safety and the safety of every team member you interact with.
• Build a culture where maintenance leads by example in communication, professionalism, and problem‑solving.
• Mentor and develop technicians, building a team that anticipates issues and solves problems at the root.

Safety Leadership

• Ensure all work is performed safely, with proper procedures, permits, and risk assessments.
• Empower team members to stop work, speak up, and intervene when unsafe conditions exist.
• Collaborate closely with the Safety department to reduce hazards and reinforce safe behaviors.
• Maintain equipment to meet or exceed safety standards, ensuring safe operation for all departments.

Driving Production & Big 3 Performance

• Take ownership of maintenance’s role in achieving Productivity, Material Usage, and Scrap targets.
• Partner with Production to align maintenance priorities with daily, weekly, and monthly production goals.
• Reduce unplanned downtime and improve equipment reliability to support throughput and quality.
• Use data to identify how maintenance actions impact the Big 3 and adjust strategies accordingly.
• Ensure maintenance planning supports stable, predictable production performance.

Systems Building & Process Development

• Build foundational maintenance systems including:
• Preventive and predictive maintenance programs
• Work order and planning processes
• Spare parts and inventory control
• Asset management and reliability standards
• Implement structure, documentation, and standard work where gaps currently exist.
• Lead CMMS setup, optimization, and data integrity efforts.

Data‑Driven Maintenance Management

• Develop and track KPIs such as downtime, MTBF, MTTR, PM compliance, and backlog health.
• Use data to identify root causes, prioritize work, and drive reliability improvements.
• Build dashboards and reporting tools to communicate performance to leadership.
• Tie maintenance metrics directly to the Big 3 KPIs to reinforce shared accountability.

Cross‑Functional Collaboration

• Partner with Production to support throughput, quality, and uptime.
• Work with Safety to ensure compliance and risk reduction.
• Collaborate with Continuous Improvement teams to drive Lean, TPM, and reliability initiatives.
• Communicate proactively with all departments to ensure alignment and shared ownership of results.

Operational & Technical Oversight

• Oversee maintenance activities for equipment, building infrastructure, and facility systems.
• Ensure proper work control for preventive maintenance, emergency repairs, and equipment modifications.
• Manage maintenance budgets, cost controls, and resource planning.
• Support integration of new or modified equipment as the facility grows.
