Summary:

Duties & Responsibilities:

What You’ll Do

• Lead a high‑performing team (10–15 direct reports): hire, onboard, coach, set objectives, manage performance, build bench strength, and coordinate contractor support across shifts.
• Own Security Products planning: build and execute the weekly/bi‑weekly plan for PM/PdM, corrective work, and improvements on Security Products equipment; coordinate windows with Production and Engineering; maintain backlog health in the CMMS.
• Deliver uptime & fast restoration: prioritize work by safety/urgency/materials; lead on shift responses to failures; ensure quick, proper restoration and robust hand‑offs that minimize impact to output.
• Run PMs that matter: ensure proactive maintenance (PM, PdM, failure finding, calibration‑as‑assigned) is completed to standard and on schedule; track compliance and effectiveness.
• Manage costs & spares: own labor/overtime planning and parts usage; keep the shop, parts storage, tools, and documentation clean, organized, and audit‑ready.
• Enable safe, compliant work: enforce EHS/LOTO/PPE and permit‑to‑work requirements; complete audits, investigate near misses, and close actions.
• Support capital & change: participate in new equipment selection/commissioning with an eye to safety, availability, reliability, maintainability, and long‑term service cost.
• Report on what matters: publish maintenance KPIs (availability, MTBF/MTTR, PM compliance, maintenance cost) and drive improvements to target.
• Maintain department awareness: remain knowledgeable about all production lines and shared utilities to provide backup planning/coverage as needed.

How You Work

• Safety first. Always: model stop‑work authority; ensure LOTO, PPE, permits, and area controls are never optional.
• Clear communication: run effective shift startups and turnovers; keep CMMS histories, logs, procedures, and job plans accurate and current.
• Calm under pressure: make sound tradeoffs when priorities collide; escalate early and remove roadblocks for the team.
• Continuous improvement mindset: apply TPM/Lean and 6S to cut waste and unplanned downtime; convert fixes into standard work.

Grow Your Team & Function

• Develop people and process: coach leads/techs, build multi‑skill capability (electro‑mechanical, PLC/drive basics, pneumatics, vacuum), and institutionalize lessons learned into PMs/procedures.
• Cross‑functional partnering: collaborate with Production, Process/Manufacturing Engineering, Quality, and Facilities to align maintenance windows and readiness for builds.

Shift & Schedule

• Supports a 24/7 manufacturing environment; may require day/night/weekend/holiday coverage and periodic on‑call to meet production needs.

Physical & Work Conditions

• Frequent standing/walking; bending, kneeling, climbing; repetitive hand use; ability to safely lift/push/pull up to ~50 lbs. with proper technique and PPE. May work around production machinery, at heights, on uneven surfaces, and operate lifts/forklifts per training.

Pre-Requisites / Skills / Experience Requirements:

Minimum Qualifications

Required

• 7+ years in high‑tech manufacturing equipment maintenance, including 3+ years leading technicians/leads in a multi‑shift operation.
• Demonstrated use of RCM/FMEA, RCA (5 Whys, 8D/DMAIC), and TPM/Lean to improve uptime, quality, and cost.
• Proficiency with CMMS work management, planning/scheduling, and reliability/financial metrics (availability, MTBF/MTTR, PM compliance, labor & parts cost).
• Strong communication and stakeholder management skills; able to lead under time pressure and shifting priorities.

Preferred

• Bachelor’s in Engineering/Technology (or equivalent experience).
• Background with thin‑film/high‑vacuum and electro‑mechanical production equipment (robotics, motion control, PLCs, pneumatics).
• SMRP affiliation and/or CMRP/CMRT; Lean Six Sigma Green Belt.
