Rotating weekend coverage as needed | Weekend stipend eligible

What You’ll Lead

Lead Maintenance and Electronic Trades supporting a highly automated food manufacturing operation. This is a leadership-first role focused on setting priorities, developing the team, improving maintenance execution, and keeping equipment ready for production.

You’ll:

• Lead preventive, corrective, and emergency maintenance work.
• Direct troubleshooting across mechanical, electrical, automation, and controls systems.
• Use CMMS data and maintenance KPIs to improve PM compliance, labor utilization, work execution, and equipment reliability.
• Coach and develop Maintenance and Electronic Trades across varying skill levels.
• Balance real-time Production needs with planned maintenance priorities.
• Partner with Operations, Engineering, Sanitation, FSQA, and Maintenance leadership.

Equipment & Skills

Mechanical systems | Electrical troubleshooting | PLCs/HMIs | VFDs & motor controls | Instrumentation | Automation & controls | Preventive maintenance | CMMS | Equipment reliability

You need the technical breadth to effectively lead multiple trades—you do not need to be the expert in every discipline.

What Success Looks Like:

• 80%+ labor utilization
• 90%+ PM work-order compliance
• Improved schedule compliance and reduced maintenance-related downtime
• Active skill development plans for direct reports
• A safer, more accountable, increasingly self-sufficient maintenance team

You’ll Be a Strong Fit If You Have

• Approximately 5+ years of manufacturing/industrial leadership experience
• Experience leading multidisciplinary maintenance work
• Preventive, corrective, and emergency maintenance experience in an automated manufacturing environment
• Working knowledge across mechanical, electrical, automation, and controls systems
• Experience using a CMMS and maintenance KPIs to manage performance

Food manufacturing experience is not required. Experience from other established, highly automated manufacturing environments can translate. SAP, our specific equipment/control platforms, and formal education are flexible when you bring equivalent technical and leadership experience.

What You Should Know

This is an on-site, 1st-shift role in a cold, wet food-manufacturing environment. You’ll work alongside an active production operation where priorities can change quickly and strong Maintenance/Operations coordination matters.

You’ll have the opportunity to develop the team, strengthen preventive maintenance, improve equipment reliability, and help build a more proactive maintenance organization.
