About the Opportunity

We’re partnering with a stable operation with a full book of business, a staple plating line, and continued investment in technology. This is a backfill role that’s been expanded beyond a clerical focus—today it’s about building a stronger maintenance planning and reliability rhythm.

If you’re analytical, organized, and grounded in preventative maintenance—and you enjoy reducing downtime by improving the system, not just reacting—this role will feel like a strong next step.

What You’ll Do

• Build and maintain preventative maintenance schedules; coordinate corrective work to reduce downtime.

• Create and manage work orders, track completion, and keep priorities moving.

• Review downtime trends and adjust PMs to prevent repeat issues.

• Support spare parts, vendors/contractors, and basic cost tracking.

• Conduct routine inspections and ensure maintenance work aligns with safety and procedures.

• Communicate updates and needs between the maintenance team and leadership.

• Identify improvement opportunities through upgrades, overhauls, or new technology.

Who You Are

• Maintenance-minded with a reliability/continuous improvement approach.

• Analytical—able to look at downtime and identify what could have prevented it.

• Clear communicator who can stay organized when business needs change.

• Comfortable being hands-on and practical, while thinking ahead.

Preferred Experience & Attributes

• Preventative maintenance background (planning/scheduling experience is key).

• Solid understanding of mechanical/electrical systems (hydraulic/pneumatic knowledge is a plus).

• Strong planning, prioritization, and problem-solving skills.

• Plating experience is a plus.

Why This Role Matters

This role helps stabilize equipment performance and reduce downtime in a busy operation. You’ll bring structure, visibility, and follow-through—helping the plant run more predictably while supporting ongoing investment and demand.
