Descripción del empleo

This is your opportunity to take ownership of a maintenance organization, build a stronger team, and make measurable operational impact.

Position Summary

We are hiring a Plant Maintenance Manager to lead and strengthen maintenance operations at our 24/7 metal-manufacturing facility in Conway, South Carolina.

This is a high-impact leadership role for someone who is equally comfortable on the plant floor, in front of a control panel, and coaching a maintenance team. You will take ownership of a department that is ready to move beyond reactive firefighting and toward stronger preventive maintenance, better planning, greater reliability, and a safer, more accountable operating rhythm.

You will work closely with Operations, Engineering, senior leadership, and an onsite controls engineer while leading a team of maintenance technicians across a continuous production environment. If you thrive in demanding industrial settings and want the opportunity to build something better, this role offers meaningful visibility and ownership.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead the day-to-day activities, priorities, development, and accountability of the maintenance team in a 24/7 manufacturing operation.
• Spend significant time on the floor supporting production, safety, engineering, troubleshooting, and continuous-improvement initiatives.
• Improve preventive and predictive maintenance execution, scheduling discipline, and reliability while reducing emergency-response work.
• Personally troubleshoot and manipulate existing Allen-Bradley PLC and drive programs, and provide technical direction on automation and controls issues.
• Lead projects involving hydraulics, compressed air, cooling water, chillers, cooling towers, bridge cranes, plant layout, and equipment improvements.
• Develop scopes, schedules, cost estimates, and justifications for maintenance and engineering projects.
• Coach and develop hourly maintenance personnel through training, mentoring, performance management, and clear expectations.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical or Mechanical Engineering is preferred, although we will consider equivalent technical credentials and directly relevant experience.
• 5+ years of maintenance leadership or management experience in a demanding heavy-industrial environment.
• Hands-on Allen-Bradley PLC and drive experience, including the ability to troubleshoot and modify existing programs rather than only supervise vendors or technicians.
• Strong mechanical and industrial-maintenance experience, including hydraulics and exposure to plant utility systems such as compressed air, chillers, and cooling towers.
• Experience leading maintenance in metals, foundry, automotive, tire manufacturing, or another comparable high-volume production environment.
