Job Description
Job Description
Lead Reliability. Elevate Uptime. Grow People.
Picture your day starting with a walk through the plant floor. You check overnight KPIs, align your team on priorities, and confirm that today’s preventive maintenance is sequenced to protect production. A vendor calls about a rush fabrication, you review a critical repair for workmanship, and later you brief leadership on cost controls and a plan to boost efficiency on a key line. By afternoon, you’re coordinating a machine relocation, closing out an accident investigation action item, and prepping annual boiler inspection records for external reviewers. That’s a typical rhythm in this role.
What You’ll Lead
- Set direction for day-to-day maintenance activities; drive performance through clear goals and measurable results.
- Own the Preventive Maintenance (PM) program—plan, schedule, and execute to minimize downtime.
- Accountable for facility utilities and systems : electric distribution, air compressors, boiler operations, and hazardous waste handling.
- Triage, prioritize, and delegate corrective work; identify worn / failed components and source replacements.
- Champion safe work practices and LOTO—ensure procedures are consistently followed.
- Manage maintenance operating costs; continually review repairs for quality and long-term reliability.
- Upgrade and modify equipment to improve throughput, efficiency, and cost profile.
- Coordinate outside contractors from bid through construction; partner with machine shops to fabricate parts.
- Lead plant projects : design / development work, major overhauls, and machine relocations.
- Collaborate with the Production Manager on machine modifications to boost productivity.
- Implement and enforce safety programs; participate in accident investigations and support environmental initiatives.
- Design and deploy machine guarding solutions.
- Deliver required annual training (lockout / tagout, confined space, fire extinguisher, Hazmat, etc.).
- Serve as liaison for State / Federal inspectors, the local Fire Department, insurance audits, and annual boiler inspections.
- Engage frequently with production, printing, admin, and maintenance teams; work with contractors, insurers, and regulatory bodies (OSHA, EPA, AIB, ASI), plus city utilities, water / sewer departments, the fire marshal, and vendors as needed.
