**** Non-union**| | | |THE OPPORTUNITY Pro Services Workforce Solutions has partnered with an industrial adhesive manufacturer to fill a direct hire opportunity for a Maintenance Manager at their Mesquite, TX facility.

Reporting to the Plant Manager, you'll lead maintenance, reliability, and capital project work for a site that makes food-grade hot melt adhesive and runs around the clock. You'll lead a team of seven technicians across three shifts. This role is built for a people leader with a maintenance background: someone who can get on the floor and troubleshoot alongside the team, then coach, delegate, and build a department that works hand in hand with production.

ABOUT THE COMPANY The Mesquite plant is a 70-year-old facility that has been owned by the company for 50 years. It runs equipment from the 1970s and 80s alongside brand new packaging lines and robotic palletizers, and about 80% of the equipment is not specialized. The equipment is in good shape, and capital projects are already in place to keep updating the building.

This is one of the most recognized sites in the company. The team has broken record after record over the last 18 months, draws regular visits from the VP and CEO, and is a site other locations look to when they train their own people. The culture expects results and has real camaraderie, and leadership has been intentional about making it employee-focused, from steak cookouts to holiday parties.

Safety is a priority here. A dedicated EHS manager works with all three shifts, walks the floor often, and partners closely with maintenance on lockout/tagout and fall prevention. The site has had one very minor recordable this year.

Pro Services is working to fill this role for the customer, and we stand behind this team as a place where a strong maintenance leader can make a real impact and build a long-term career.

THE IDEAL CANDIDATE You're a servant leader. You bring 5–7 years in maintenance leadership, ideally as a manager, though strong supervisor experience counts too. You came up through maintenance, so you can walk up to a breakdown, help your team think through the problem, and make a plan, without grabbing the tools and doing the repair yourself. Your job is to teach, delegate, and develop people so the whole team gets stronger.

You build bridges. You believe maintenance and production are on the same team, and you communicate in a way that brings people together. You keep conversations focused on solving the problem, not on who is to blame. You model the behavior you expect, including stopping work when something isn't safe and looking out for the people around you.

You're patient with change. You know a team has to trust you before it will follow you, so you take the time to learn the people, their strengths, and the equipment before introducing new ideas. You're results-driven and optimistic, you use data to track progress, you make decisions and act on them, and you get to the root cause of problems.

WHAT YOU WILL DOLead and develop a maintenance team of seven technicians across three shifts. Most of the crew works 1st shift, with technicians covering 2nd and 3rd shift on their own.

Champion safety and stay compliant with environmental, health, and safety requirements. Partner with the EHS manager on LOTO, fall prevention, and stop-work authority.
