Maintenance Manager - Smarr Combined Cycle plant

Location:

Future Plant Smarr - Forsyth, GA
Department:
Plant Operations

Build it. Own it. Lead it. As the Maintenance Manager for the Smarr Combined Cycle plant, you'll play a pivotal role in bringing a state‑of‑the‑art power generation facility to life and then keeping it running safely, efficiently, and reliably for years to come. This is not a "steady‑state" role. You'll be at the front end of a new plant, setting the foundation for how maintenance is done: building programs, hiring and developing your team, establishing work plans, and ensuring the right tools, parts, and systems are in place from day one.

Once the plant is operational, you'll lead all aspects of maintenance across mechanical, electrical, civil, and I&C disciplines. If you enjoy building structure, leading experienced teams, and taking ownership of plant reliability, this role offers real impact and long‑term visibility.
