• Participate in HSE problem solving and support the immediate implementation of safe containment actions when concerns arise.
• Champion Environmental Stewardship by ensuring maintenance activities align with environmental policies, regulatory requirements, and responsible operating practices.
• Identify opportunities to reduce waste, prevent environmental impacts, promote responsible use of resources, and support compliance with applicable local, state, and federal environmental requirements.

QUALIFICATIONS

• Bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering, Electrical Engineering, Industrial Maintenance, or a related field, or equivalent experience.
• 5+ years of maintenance management experience, preferably within a manufacturing or industrial environment.
• Proven experience leading, coaching, and developing maintenance teams.
• Strong technical knowledge of mechanical, electrical, hydraulic, and pneumatic systems.
• Strong troubleshooting and root-cause problem-solving capabilities.
