Position
Summary The Maintenance Supervisor is the frontline leader responsible for safe and effective execution of maintenance work across the manufacturing floor. This is a floor-focused leadership role, not primarily an administrative position. The Supervisor owns today’s execution: technician deployment, active-job support, break-in control, repair quality, safe work practices, communication with Operations, and the handoff of equipment risk. The Maintenance Planner owns future work readiness and detailed planning. The Job: Receive shift handoff and review equipment currently down, unresolved issues, overnight break-ins, and critical plant risks. Confirm technician attendance, available skills, and daily work assignments. Participate in the Daily Tier meeting and communicate maintenance status, risks, expected return-to-service timing, and needed escalation. Conduct the daily Supervisor/Planner huddle and provide the Planner with field conditions, execution issues, and upcoming access needs. Spend the majority of the working day on the manufacturing floor supporting maintenance execution. Visit active maintenance jobs, confirm safe work practices, remove roadblocks, and verify work is progressing to plan. Coordinate equipment access and production priorities with Operations without allowing every request to become an emergency. Manage break-in work and document why scheduled work was displaced. Ensure appropriate LOTO, permits, safe-work requirements, tools, and PPE are in place before and during maintenance work. Verify repair quality and support proper equipment turnover before returning equipment to normal service. Identify temporary repairs and ensure permanent corrective work is created and prioritized. Recognize repeat failures and trigger escalation for RCA or reliability review when needed. Review technician work-order closeout for meaningful findings, labor, failure information, parts usage, and follow-up work. Coach technicians on troubleshooting, precision repair, housekeeping, maintenance standards, and work-order discipline. Provide a clear end-of-shift handoff for unresolved equipment, safety, parts, and production risks. What This Role Owns Safe and effective execution of maintenance work during the shift. Technician assignments, coaching, accountability, and field support. Management of legitimate emergency and break-in work. Protection of the approved schedule whenever plant conditions allow. Repair-quality verification and accurate work-order feedback. The Person: Strong industrial maintenance background with practical mechanical and/or electrical experience. Minimum of an Associate's degree with 3-5 years of leadership experience Demonstrated ability to lead technicians in a manufacturing environment. Working knowledge of LOTO, safe work, permits, and industrial maintenance hazards. Ability to prioritize multiple equipment issues without losing control of scheduled work. Working knowledge of CMMS work orders and maintenance documentation. Strong communication and problem-solving skills. The Details: You’ll receive a competitive salary and a great benefits plan, including: Medical, dental, life, vision, disability, 401(k), Employee Stock Purchase Plan, paid time off, and tuition reimbursement in addition to programs & benefits in support of your well-being.
