About The Position

The Maintenance Senior Supervisor leads day-to-day maintenance and facility operations at Chromalloy’s on-site Connecticut location. The role ensures production equipment, utilities, and building systems operate safely and reliably and comply with applicable aerospace, regulatory, environmental, and company requirements. It is a hands-on leadership position: the supervisor leads maintenance technicians across shifts while working alongside them to troubleshoot and repair equipment, respond to production needs, and resolve complex technical issues. The role also leads the development and sustainment of a Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) system to improve equipment reliability, uptime, and maintenance effectiveness. The supervisor leads, schedules, develops, and evaluates multi-craft maintenance personnel; directs preventive, predictive, and corrective maintenance; serves as a technical escalation point; and oversees facility systems, equipment, contractors, inspections, and compliance activities. The role champions safe work practices, supports audits and corrective actions, and uses maintenance data and continuous-improvement methods to improve reliability. The supervisor also supports capital projects and facility upgrades and assists with maintenance budget planning. When the Facility & Maintenance Manager is unavailable, this role serves as acting department leader.
