About The Position

The Mechanical Supervisor is responsible for leading the mechanical maintenance team to ensure safe, reliable, and efficient execution of all mechanical work across the facility. This role directly supervises mechanics and contractors, sets clear expectations, and holds the team accountable for results. This position requires a highly engaged, field-focused leader who drives work execution, reinforces standards, and fosters a strong team culture aligned with Vistra’s “One Team” philosophy.

Requirements

• 6–10 years of mechanical maintenance experience in power generation or heavy industrial environments required.
• Highschool diploma or GED equivalent required.
• Strong knowledge of rotating equipment, pumps, valves, and mechanical systems required.
• Proven ability to set expectations, enforce standards, and drive accountability.

Nice To Haves

• Supervisory or lead experience with direct responsibility for team performance preferred.
• Experience with work management systems (SAP, Maximo, etc.) preferred.

Responsibilities

• Drive Safe, Disciplined Execution: Ensure all mechanical work is performed safely and in compliance with site procedures and regulatory requirements. Maintain a strong field presence to observe work, reinforce expectations, and intervene when needed. Drive adherence to maintenance standards, procedures, and quality expectations.
• Lead, Engage, and Hold the Team Accountable: Set clear expectations for safety, performance, and work execution. Hold mechanics and contractors accountable for meeting those expectations. Provide direct, timely feedback—both positive recognition and corrective coaching. Address performance gaps promptly and consistently.
• Own and Drive Work Execution: Actively drive daily work activities, not just coordinate them. Ensure work is executed according to plan, while adapting to changing plant conditions. Remove barriers and escalate issues that impact schedule, safety, or quality. Deliver results during both routine maintenance and outage conditions.
• Foster a “One Team” Culture: Promote collaboration across Mechanical, Operations, Electrical, and support teams. Reinforce shared ownership of plant performance, not siloed responsibilities. Support peers and other departments to ensure overall site success. Build a team environment based on trust, respect, and accountability.
• Execute Maintenance and Outage Work Plan: Coordinate and oversee mechanical maintenance activities. Support outage planning and execution with a focus on schedule adherence and efficient resource utilization. Ensure work orders are completed accurately and closed out in a timely manner.
• Drive Continuous Improvement: Identify and act on opportunities to improve equipment reliability and team effectiveness. Engage the team in improvement initiatives (e.g., OPI or similar programs). Use performance data and observations to drive better outcomes.
