Site Maintenance Operations Manager (Manufacturing)

What your day looks like

You arrive on site as the owner of safety. You open the day by checking in on the Site Safety Program, ensuring every tech and leader understands the risks and the protections in place. Before lunch, you’ve led a quick walk-through to confirm housekeeping standards are sharp and the floor is inspection-ready.

Your calendar anchors the rhythm of the operation. Weekly stand-ups, monthly business reviews, and regular one-on-ones keep the team aligned. You drive all team communications, complete performance evaluations, and partner with each person on career planning, training paths, and skill building. You also take care of the essentials—approving payroll and premium time and applying hourly work rules consistently.

Financially, you treat the site like it’s your business—tracking sales, controlling expenses, and safeguarding profit. You collaborate with your staff to uncover and implement cost savings opportunities. Throughout the week, you meet with Sales and senior management to spot growth opportunities and raise customer satisfaction through continuous improvement. When contracts change, you help administer revisions and coordinate with the customer and Sales to make the transition seamless.

On the operations side, you recommend smarter ways to report to customers and run the site. You keep the contract deliverables and KPIs current in the 4-up format, remove barriers, and push action items through to completion. You regularly sit down with the customer’s plant manager and leadership team to review ATS performance metrics—setting agendas, running the meetings, capturing minutes, and following through until issues are resolved.

You also keep an eye on inventory that ATS manages on the customer’s behalf—controlling budgeted levels, accuracy, turns, and other key measures. You may maintain the CMMS to ensure data integrity and planning accuracy. Travel can pop up—expect up to about 20% as needed.

Leading people

You directly supervise a team and carry out leadership duties in line with ATS' policies and applicable laws : interviewing, hiring, onboarding and training; planning, assigning, and directing work; evaluating performance; recognizing great work and addressing issues; and resolving complaints constructively.
