Why this role stands out

If you’re a senior maintenance supervisor ready to step into leadership or a working Maintenance Manager who enjoys staying close to the equipment - this role offers real ownership, visibility, and the chance to shape how maintenance runs in a smaller, agile plant.  Reporting to the Plant Manager, you’ll lead from the floor, influence capital improvements, strengthen preventive maintenance systems, and directly impact production reliability and safety. Growth potential in 2-3 years to Plant Management is a definite option.

  • Guide and develop maintenance technicians through coaching, training, and cross-training
  • Maintain spare parts strategy and vendor relationships to minimize downtime
  • Identify reliability risks and lead continuous improvement initiatives that boost up time and safety
  • Support capital planning by identifying equipment upgrades and helping build business cases
  • Maintain accurate asset tracking and ensure strong work-order planning and execution

What makes you successful here

  • Strong electrical and mechanical troubleshooting skills in an industrial manufacturing environment
  • Ability to read electrical, pneumatic, and mechanical schematics confidently
  • Experience with PLC troubleshooting, industrial wiring, drives, motors, and power distribution
  • Knowledge of safety standards including LOTO, Arc Flash, PPE, and applicable electrical codes
  • Leadership mindset - able to prioritize work, coordinate technicians, and communicate effectively across production, engineering, and vendors
  • Comfortable using Microsoft Office and maintenance systems to manage workflow and reporting

What you bring

  • 8+ years of industrial maintenance experience (electrical and controls exp. required)
  • Prior supervisory or maintenance leadership experience required
  • Technical training in electrical, hydraulic, or pneumatic systems is needed
  • Plastics or extrusion manufacturing experience helpful but not required
  • Professionals must have experience in a manufacturing production setting

Compensation

  • Base salary up to $150K/year, depending on experience. Relocation assistance
  • Healthcare benefits
  • 401K w/Co. match
  • Discounted stock available for purchase
