About The Position

The Engineering & Facilities Maintenance Operations Manager will enable high performance of the supply chain facility by fostering a reliability-centered maintenance culture within their team that ensures high equipment availability and success for the operation of the supply chain facility.

Safety investigations and incident after-action reviews to determine root causes will be conducted.
