• Develop, implement, and maintain maintenance procedures, Job Safety Analyses, and regulatory-compliance documentation.
• Investigate equipment failures and implement sustainable corrective actions using Root Cause Failure Analysis, Failure Mode and Effects Analysis, and other reliability methods.
• Lead continuous-improvement initiatives using Lean, 5S, and related operational-excellence practices to improve safety, reliability, productivity, and cost performance.
• Communicate equipment risks, maintenance priorities, reliability strategies, and performance results to operators, engineers, quality personnel, and site leadership.
• Support workforce planning, recruitment, performance management, coaching, employee development, and succession planning.
• Provide support for rotating-shift, weekend, extended-hour, outage, and on-call employees as business needs require.

Qualifications & Experience

• High school diploma or equivalent required.
• Minimum of 7–10 years of maintenance experience in power generation, manufacturing, chemical processing, or a comparable heavy-industrial environment; thermomechanical treatment facility experience is preferred.
• Proven supervisory or managerial experience leading industrial maintenance personnel.
