You'll lead a shift team of Mechanics and Instrument Technicians, with oversight of specialty maintenance crafts, contractors and equipment vendors. It's a fast paced 24/7 operation with high speed roasting and production lines, so you'll be balancing planned preventive and reliability work with the unplanned. The plant is going through upgrades, and they want someone who'll bring strong maintenance best practice and help drive new and improved ways of working.


What you'll be doing:

  • Leading shift maintenance to reduce and prevent downtime, with safety and compliance front and center
  • Issuing daily work assignments to Mechanics and Instrument Technicians, then planning, scheduling and recording work in CMMS
  • Building and maintaining PM schedules so repairs, inspections and preventive tasks are completed on time
  • Troubleshooting technical issues hands-on where needed, diagnosing problems and leading root cause analysis
  • Presenting updates in daily Ops meetings and working closely with Operations, Production, QA, Safety and Engineering to prioritize maintenance needs
  • Training, coaching and mentoring your team, setting clear performance expectations
  • Developing standard work practices and inspecting completed jobs and PMs for quality
  • Supporting Engineering on capital equipment replacements
  • Compiling data for daily operational reports and payroll


Shift pattern: 2-2-3 rotating schedule supporting 24/7 production

Salary: $75k to $95k+ DOE, with the top end for strong CPG and Reliability experience

Benefits: Start on day one


What We’re Looking For:


  • 5+ years' supervisory experience in an industrial manufacturing environment (CPG strongly preferred)
  • Strong working knowledge of Infor CMMS, including creating and closing work orders
  • TPM, preventive maintenance and reliability maintenance experience
  • Understanding of mechanical, pneumatic and hydraulic systems, with electrical and automation (PLC, HMI) exposure
  • Knowledge of food safety and QA standards such as HACCP, GMP, SQF and FDA
  • A natural leader who gets results through others, ideally with coaching and mentoring experience
  • A strategic problem solver who can plan, prioritize and execute, and who enjoys getting to the root cause
  • A confident communicator at all levels, both verbally and in writing
  • Strong Word and Excel skills (Power BI a plus)
  • Bachelor's degree desirable
  • Able to work rotating shifts, walk long distances in a non-climate-controlled plant, lift up to 50 lbs and climb vertical ladders
