If you’re someone who enjoys leading teams, solving problems, improving equipment reliability, and keeping operations running smoothly, we want to hear from you.
Pay Range: $80,000–$88,000/year (Based on experience, skills, and qualifications)
What You’ll Do- Lead day‑to‑day maintenance operations at the customer site
- Support and mentor maintenance technicians while building a strong team culture
- Troubleshoot electrical, automation, and equipment issues
- Coordinate preventative and corrective maintenance activities
- Ensure safety standards and compliance procedures are followed

Your day starts by connecting with your team, reviewing priorities, and making sure the site is set up for a safe and productive shift. Throughout the day, you’ll coordinate maintenance activities, troubleshoot electrical or automation issues, support technicians in the field, and work directly with the customer to keep operations running efficiently.
No two days are exactly the same — one moment you may be planning preventative maintenance schedules, and the next you’re solving a critical equipment issue to prevent downtime. You’ll be a leader, problem solver, communicator, and hands‑on resource for your team every day.
