About The Position

Make every minute of uptime count Picture your day: you open the CMMS, scan the overnight work orders, and slot jobs by plant priorities. You assign tasks to Maintenance Mechanics, line up preventive maintenance based on OEM recommendations, and sync with production so repairs land at the perfect time. By mid-day you’re coaching techs on workmanship standards, checking drawings and instructions you issued, and verifying completed work meets spec. In the afternoon, you requisition shop supplies, update the equipment inventory with a newly arrived asset, and coordinate a vendor visit alongside the Technical Services Manager and Maintenance Foreman. Before you wrap, you review safety schedules, ensure PPE and tools are available, and finalize plans for tomorrow’s projects.
