Our plant in Mountain Top, PA is looking for an experienced Maintenance Supervisor. The Maintenance Supervisor will design and optimize mechanical systems, lead reliability and preventive-maintenance initiatives, and provide technical oversight to maintenance technicians—safeguarding product quality, personnel safety, and regulatory compliance across multiple shifts.

  • Modify and repair conveyors, ovens, coolers, mixers, and packaging machinery to increase throughput, reduce energy consumption, and meet USDA/FDA sanitary-design standards.
  • Prepare detailed engineering drawings, bills of material, and technical specifications for new installations and retrofits using CAD and FEA tools.
  • Develop and own the plant’s preventive- maintenance (PM) and condition-based monitoring programs—including vibration analysis, oil analysis, and infrared thermography—to extend asset life and achieve ≥95 % planned labor utilization.
  • Generate maintenance procedures, work instructions, and checklists; verify execution through regular audits and KPI reviews.
  • Lead failure-mode and effects analysis (FMEA) and root-cause investigations for chronic downtime events; recommend design changes or process adjustments to eliminate recurring faults and achieve best-in-class MTBF.
  • Track downtime data, create Pareto analyses, and present counter-measures to plant leadership.
  • Manage capital projects from scope development through start-up: prepare cost estimates, write RFQs, evaluate vendor proposals, and coordinate contractors during equipment installation, commissioning, and validation.
  • Ensure projects are executed on time, within budget, and in compliance with ASME, NFPA, NEC, and company safety standards.
  • Provide day-to-day engineering support to production supervisors and technicians, troubleshooting complex mechanical, pneumatic, and hydraulic issues.
  • Deliver ongoing skill-building sessions on precision maintenance, lock-out/tag-out (LO/TO), and new technology rollouts; mentor technicians in reading schematics and interpreting engineering documentation.
  • Conduct monthly safety training and engineering reviews to maintain zero lost- time incidents; investigate any injuries within 24 hours and complete detailed engineering analyses within 48 hours.
  • Champion food-safety and GMP adherence by integrating hygienic-design principles into all mechanical systems. Standardize maintenance workflows across shifts to drive consistency and maximize Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE).
  • Establish and monitor KPIs—downtime per line, PM compliance, spare-parts turns, energy intensity—and implement Kaizen and Six Sigma initiatives to surpass plant targets.
  • Requires a bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, mechatronics or a related field and two years of experience in the job offered  or a supervisory maintenance role in a manufacturing environment.
  • Requires two years of experience in the following:
  • Troubleshooting and repairing complex mechanical, electrical, or control systems;
  • Using a Computerized Maintenance Management System;
  • Developing and executing strategic asset-management plans;
  • Applying formal root-cause and reliability methodologies to eliminate chronic equipment failures and increase Mean Time Between Failures
  • Leading, coaching, and evaluating maintenance or engineering direct reports;
  • Managing capital-improvement or maintenance projects;
  • Interpreting mechanical drawings or electrical schematics to diagnose issues and guide corrective actions;
  • Communicating technical findings and project status to cross-functional stakeholders through written reports, presentations, and on-floor briefings.
  • Medical, Dental, and Vision insurance
  • Life insurance and AD&D Insurance
  • Short-Term and Long-Term Disability Insurance
  • Flexible Spending Accounts
  • 401(k) plan with matching
  • Paid shoe allowances
  • Vacation Pay
