WE KEEP THE PLANT RUNNING — AND WE’RE HIRING A MAINTENANCE MANAGER! 

Do you thrive on solving problems, leading teams, and keeping production moving at full speed?
Can you hear a machine make a weird noise from 50 feet away and already know what’s wrong?
If downtime makes your eye twitch… we should talk.

We’re looking for a hands-on, motivated, people-focused Maintenance Manager to lead our maintenance team in a fast-paced manufacturing environment. This is your chance to make a real impact by driving reliability, improving efficiency, and building a strong maintenance culture.

  • Creating smart maintenance strategies that keep equipment running smoothly
  • Driving preventive maintenance programs to reduce downtime
  • Troubleshooting equipment issues and finding long-term solutions
  • Managing emergency repairs like a calm, collected pro
  • Supporting food safety, OSHA compliance, Lock-Out/Tag-Out, GMPs, and SQF standards
  • Tracking maintenance KPIs, work orders, schedules, and equipment history
  • Identifying process improvements that make operations stronger and more efficient
  • Partnering with production and leadership teams to keep the plant operating at its best

What We’re Looking For

You might be the perfect fit if you:

  • Have maintenance management experience in manufacturing
  • Know your way around industrial equipment and systems
  • Can lead a team while still being willing to roll up your sleeves
  • Are experienced with CMMS systems
  • Have strong troubleshooting and decision-making skills
  • Communicate well with everyone from technicians to senior leadership
  • Understand safety and compliance standards like OSHA, GMPs, and food safety programs
  • Have a degree in Engineering, Manufacturing Management, or a related field (preferred)

Why You’ll Love It Here

  • Fast-paced environment where no two days are the same
  • Opportunity to lead and build a strong maintenance culture
  • Team-oriented workplace with supportive leadership
  • Ability to make a direct impact on plant performance
  • Competitive pay and benefits
  • A role where your ideas and expertise matter

Sound Like You?
