Maintenance Supervisor

Salary Range: $95,000.00 To $ Annually

KEEP MAINTENANCE TEAMS SAFE, CAPABLE, AND EXECUTING AT THEIR BEST

In manufacturing, equipment reliability doesn't come from maintenance plans alone.

It comes from execution.

The right work needs to happen at the right time. Technicians need clear direction. Safety standards need to be followed consistently. Work quality needs to be verified before equipment returns to service. Operational priorities need to be balanced without compromising reliability, food safety, or compliance.

When those pieces aren't managed effectively, downtime increases, equipment performance suffers, and risks escalates across the operation.
