Industrial Maintenance Operations Manager

Industrial Maintenance Operations Manager

Picture your day : you kick off with a quick stand-up to align the maintenance crew on goals and safety, skim overnight CMMS work orders, and set priorities for the shift. Mid-morning, you’re on the floor overseeing an equipment overhaul while coordinating a machine relocation. After lunch, you review the maintenance budget and ROI for a capital request, then meet with Safety, Quality, Production, Shipping & Receiving, and Admin to plan the week. Later, you welcome a visit from the local fire department and ensure our GMP and food safety standards are rock solid. Throughout, you balance hands-on floor time with the administrative work that keeps the department humming.

What You’ll Do

• Lead and develop the Maintenance team—set clear goals, track performance metrics, and inspire high performance.
• Own day-to-day maintenance operations, prioritizing and scheduling work for maximum uptime.
• Ensure safe work practices at all times, including LOTO, and uphold GMP and food safety compliance.
• Manage the department budget and participate in capital planning.
• Coordinate plant projects : equipment design / development, overhauls, and machine moves / relocations.
• Serve as primary liaison for state and federal inspections, local fire department visits, and insurance inspections.
• Balance administrative duties with a consistent presence on the production floor.
• Communicate clearly in writing and in person; organize work and collaborate across teams.
• Partner closely with Safety, Quality, Production, Shipping & Receiving, and Administrative Departments.
