Manufacturing Maintenance Supervisor
About The Position
The Manufacturing Maintenance Supervisor leads Maintenance and Electronic Trades supporting a highly automated food manufacturing operation. This is a leadership-first role focused on setting priorities, developing the team, improving maintenance execution, and keeping equipment ready for production. The supervisor directs preventive, corrective, and emergency maintenance, while coordinating real-time production needs with planned maintenance priorities and partnering with Operations, Engineering, Sanitation, FSQA, and Maintenance leadership. The role uses CMMS data and maintenance KPIs to improve preventive-maintenance compliance, labor utilization, work execution, and equipment reliability. The successful candidate brings enough technical breadth to lead multiple trades effectively; expertise in every discipline is not required. This is an on-site role in a cold, wet food-manufacturing environment alongside an active production operation where priorities can change quickly. The schedule is Monday through Friday, 9:00 PM to 6:00 AM, with rotating weekend coverage as needed. Weekend stipend eligibility is noted. Success includes achieving 80%+ labor utilization and 90%+ PM work-order compliance, improving schedule compliance and reducing maintenance-related downtime, developing direct reports’ skills, and building a safer, more accountable, increasingly self-sufficient maintenance team. Food manufacturing experience is not required; experience in other established, highly automated manufacturing environments may be relevant. SAP, specific equipment and control platforms, and formal education are flexible when equivalent technical and leadership experience is demonstrated.
