You'll lead the 2nd shift maintenance team (Monday through Friday, 1:30 PM to 10:00 PM, with occasional Saturdays) reporting directly to the Plant Maintenance and Facilities Manager. Your team of 8 unionized Process Technicians supports 5 automated production lines running conveyors, fryers, packaging machines, palletizers, and robots.
This is a coordination and leadership role, not an execution role. Because of the union structure, you will not perform hands-on repairs. Your value is in planning, prioritizing, and directing, not turning wrenches.
