🛠️ Lead Maintenance. Drive Reliability. Power Production.

Are you a hands-on maintenance leader who thrives on solving problems, improving systems, and empowering teams? Do you want to be the go-to expert for keeping a high-performing manufacturing facility running at its best?

We’re looking for a Maintenance Manager who’s ready to take ownership—not just of machines and facilities, but of people, process, and performance.

At SARSTEDT, you won’t just oversee maintenance—you’ll lead the charge in operational excellence, preventive strategy, and continuous improvement.

🧩 What You’ll Own

As our Maintenance Manager, you’ll be the backbone of plant reliability, directly managing a team of 10 technicians, 1 Maintenance Supervisor as well as 2 other employees in the Supply Room. You’ll be responsible for:

• Keeping Production Running: Prioritize and schedule maintenance, repairs, and installations to eliminate downtime and keep operations smooth.
• Leading the Team: Mentor, train, and inspire your maintenance crew. Your leadership sets the tone for safety, accountability, and results.
• Preventive & Predictive Maintenance: Develop and implement a data-driven PM program to stay ahead of breakdowns and maximize equipment life.
• Collaborating Cross-Functionally: Work closely with Engineering, Quality, and Operations to troubleshoot equipment issues and support new product launches or process improvements.
• Driving Efficiency: Identify and implement solutions that reduce costs, boost equipment reliability, and increase uptime.
• Facilities & Utilities Oversight: Ensure utility systems (steam, power, gas, compressed air, etc.) are running efficiently and safely.
• Budgeting & Resource Management: Monitor spending, track KPIs, and ensure your team has the right tools, equipment, and training to succeed.

💼 What We’re Looking For

• Experience: 6 years in industrial maintenance, with at least 2 years in a supervisory or leadership capacity.
• Education: Associate's degree in Mechanical, Electrical, or Industrial Technology—or equivalent work experience.
• Technical Skills: Strong understanding of mechanical, electrical, and utility systems; preventive maintenance systems; machine diagnostics; and equipment installation.
• Leadership: Proven ability to lead, motivate, and develop a high-performing maintenance team.
• Problem Solver: You don't just fix problems—you dig deep to find root causes and prevent them from recurring.
• Safety & Compliance First: A strong understanding of OSHA and safety best practices.

🚀 Why Join Us?

• Impact: You’ll play a critical role in maintaining uptime and supporting operational success.
• Growth: We invest in our leaders through training, development, and advancement opportunities.
• Stability: Be part of a well-established company with a strong reputation and a forward-looking vision.
• Innovation: Your ideas will be heard—bring your insight, and help shape our next phase of reliability and performance.
