What We Are Looking For

The ideal candidate is a working maintenance leader who enjoys being on the manufacturing floor and solving problems. You should be comfortable troubleshooting a machine, helping a technician make a repair, deciding what needs to be done next, and then looking for ways to prevent the problem from happening again.

This position is ideal for an experienced Maintenance Lead, Lead Technician, or Maintenance Supervisor who wants to combine hands-on technical work with leadership and responsibility for improving the overall maintenance operation.

Physical & Work Environment

• Work in a manufacturing environment around operating machinery.
• Ability to stand, walk, climb, bend, kneel, and work in various equipment locations.

• Ability to work from ladders and elevated platforms when required.
• Ability to lift and handle maintenance-related components and materials.

We are looking for someone who can lead from the floor—someone who can troubleshoot the problem, help fix it, lead the team, and improve the process.
