Overview
We are searching for a hands-on Maintenance Manager to lead a small but highly skilled maintenance team in a fully automated, PLC-driven automated processing environment serving high-volume consumer markets. This role is ideal for a leader who thrives in automation, continuous improvement, and preventive maintenance — not for someone who manages from behind a desk.

B. Hands-On Leadership
• Lead by example: tools-in-hand when needed
• Work closely with techs on troubleshooting & equipment understanding
• Coach, mentor, and develop a team of 10–12 (techs, leads, parts coordinator)
C. Operational Ownership
• Learn all equipment, wash systems, conveyors, drives, pneumatics, hydraulics
• Understand European OEM systems and vendor-controlled PLC logic
• Support a 24/5–6 operation with coverage across all three shifts
• Build rapport with second and third shift teams, not just first shift
D. Preventive Maintenance Excellence
• Ensure PMs are completed on time and never pencil-whipped
• Ensure accurate documentation and follow-through
• Partner with leads to enforce standards and workload distribution
E. Reliability & Automation Focus
• Support automation upgrades and continuous improvement projects
• Improve uptime, reduce reactive calls, and optimize equipment health
• Navigate European tech support, parts ordering, and vendor relationships
