• Improved PM completion, planning, and work order execution
• More stable, predictable equipment performance across key lines
• Stronger technician capability and consistency on the floor
• Controlled maintenance spend with less reliance on emergency repairs
What We’re Looking For
• 3 years of Maintenance Management experience in food or beverage manufacturing
• Strong hands-on troubleshooting across mechanical and electrical systems
• Ability to lead from the floor while driving structure and accountability
• Experience in improving PM programs and reducing reactive maintenance
• Practical approach to problem-solving, team development, and execution
• Bachelor's Degree preferred
