The role owns the site's preventive, condition‑based, and continuous‑improvement maintenance programs across both production automation and facilities, and is accountable for driving measurable results across core reliability KPIs — MTTR, MTBF, OEE, and breakdown reduction .

• Lead, coach, and develop maintenance supervisors and maintenance technicians across a split‑shift, Monday–Friday operation, ensuring full equipment coverage.
• Foster a safety‑first culture and ensure compliance with all EHS, OSHA, LOTO, and site safety standards.
• Own the reliability of PLC‑controlled systems (e.g., Allen‑Bradley/Rockwell, Siemens), conveyor lines, shipping sorters, Sure Sort sortation machines, robotics, and RFID reader/scan systems.

• Build and sustain CMMS‑driven preventive maintenance (PM) schedules with high PM compliance and a strong planned‑vs‑reactive ratio.
• Deploy condition‑based maintenance (CBM) techniques — vibration, thermal, electrical, and oil analysis — to detect failures before they cause downtime.

• Track, analyze, and improve all maintenance KPIs, including MTTR, MTBF, OEE, and breakdown frequency.
• Use data and trend analysis to target chronic failures, prioritize resources, and report reliability performance to the Maintenance Director, North America.
• Plan and execute maintenance projects, upgrades, and equipment overhauls — including scoping, scheduling, risk management, and milestone tracking.
