Job description

Great Opportunity at a High-Impact Manufacturing Site!

Plant Engineering & Maintenance Manager

Compensation: $106,200 - $140,700 + potential 10% annual bonus

Location: Alsip, IL (Arkema)

This critical site leadership role offers a unique 50/50 blend of Maintenance & Engineering Management. Reporting directly to the Plant Manager, you'll lead maintenance, reliability, mechanical integrity, and a team of engineers driving process improvements, capital projects, and new product scale-ups. This is a highly visible position with significant influence on site performance and future growth.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

• High-visibility role reporting directly to the Plant Manager
• Rare opportunity for a high-potential engineer or maintenance leader ready for the next step into site leadership.
• Lead both Maintenance/Reliability and Engineering functions
• Partnering with Operations, Quality, and Logistics
• Significant impact on plant performance, safety, and continuous improvement initiatives
• Drive capital projects, reliability programs, and new product scale-ups
• Unique manufacturing environment with both continuous and batch processes
• Ideal for a driven leader looking to make a lasting impact and gain organizational exposure.
