We’re seeking a forward-thinking Maintenance Manager to lead maintenance, reliability, and asset performance for a high-volume manufacturing facility operating complex, automated production equipment. This role goes beyond day-to-day maintenance execution—it is designed for a leader who can shape long-term equipment strategy, influence capital planning, develop technical talent, and drive measurable improvements in uptime, cost, and safety.
The facility operates a blend of high-speed, automation-heavy equipment alongside legacy mechanical assets. Success in this role requires someone who can bridge both worlds: setting standards, building systems, and coaching teams while staying grounded in how equipment actually behaves on the plant floor.
You’ll partner closely with Operations, Engineering, Finance, and Plant Leadership to align maintenance strategy with production goals, capital investment, and continuous improvement initiatives. This is an opportunity to build a high-performing maintenance organization—not just manage one.

Laborup is the #1 AI powered talent platform for America’s industrial workforce. We use AI to create jobs, not take them away. We help HR and plant leaders hire and keep the skilled workers who keep plants running: machinists, welders, maintenance techs, operators, industrial electricians, and engineers. USA Today called us the “LinkedIn for blue collar workers,” and Forbes profiled our work in “How AI Is Solving America’s 1 Trillion Dollar Manufacturing Labor Crisis.”
Today we work with manufacturers from 50 person shops to large public companies with tens of thousands of employees, and the story is the same everywhere. It is hard to find talent, hard to keep good people, and staffing costs keep rising. In a market where filling critical industrial roles can take months and turnover is constant, Laborup helps teams move qualified workers from first contact to on site interview in days instead of weeks and keep them on the floor longer.
Most of the workers our customers need are not on LinkedIn or the usual job boards. Laborup uses AI to find this hidden workforce, call and text them, screen and qualify them, build real profiles, and match them directly to the plants and roles where they can succeed. For workers, that means real, permanent roles at serious manufacturers, not one off gigs. For companies, it is durable infrastructure for hiring and retention at scale in a labor market that will stay tight for years.
We work across nuclear, defense, and advanced manufacturing, as well as sectors like aerospace, automotive, and food production. Teams that use Laborup hire 5 to 10 times faster, see around 3 times better retention, and cut cost per hire by up to 50 to 70 percent. That turns into fewer empty shifts, fewer missed orders, more stable teams, and more capacity without more headache.
We are building the modern talent system for America’s industrial base with a simple long term goal: put a billion industrial workers to work in good jobs that matter.
