Job Description:

Senior Maintenance Analyst – Tube Line
Greif – Packaging Success Together

Greif is launching a new steel tube production line to bring production in-house and better support our IBC business. We need a technical maintenance leader who can help get the line running, solve complex equipment issues, and build the reliability practices that keep it performing.

If you have steel tube manufacturing experience and enjoy hands-on troubleshooting, startup work, and improving equipment performance, this is a high-impact opportunity.

What You Will Do:

You’ll support the line through two important phases: Startup and Long-term Reliability.

During startup, you will:

• Support commissioning, installation validation, equipment testing, and startup activities
• Troubleshoot roll forming, HF/ERW welding, sizing, cutoff, mechanical, electrical, and process issues
• Validate equipment performance against design expectations
• Adjust and optimize equipment settings to improve stability, speed, quality, and throughput
• Help resolve early ramp-up issues that impact safety, quality, uptime, scrap, or production output
• Train operators and maintenance technicians on equipment operation, inspection, and troubleshooting
• Help establish maintenance routines, inspection standards, and baseline equipment practices

After ramp-up, you will:

• Support preventive, predictive, and corrective maintenance activities
• Diagnose equipment failures and implement long-term solutions
• Improve uptime, availability, reliability, and OEE
• Support shutdown planning and maintenance execution
• Analyze equipment and process data to identify improvement opportunities
• Support quality issue resolution, including weld integrity, tube dimensions, surface defects, and process stability
• Lead small improvement projects and partner across Maintenance, Operations, Quality, Engineering, and Production

What You Bring:

• You’re technically strong, hands-on, and comfortable working in a startup manufacturing environment.
• Associate’s degree or technical certification in Mechanical, Electrical, Industrial Maintenance, or a related field preferred; equivalent directly relevant maintenance experience will be considered
• 4+ years of maintenance experience in manufacturing
• Steel tube manufacturing experience strongly preferred
• Experience with tube forming systems, HF/ERW welding, sizing, cutoff equipment, and related production processes
• Strong mechanical, electrical, instrumentation, and industrial troubleshooting capability
• Ability to read technical drawings, schematics, and equipment documentation
• Experience with predictive maintenance, failure analysis, root cause analysis, and corrective action
• Ability to guide, train, and mentor technicians and operators
• Strong communication skills with Maintenance, Operations, Engineering, Quality, Production, and Leadership teams
• Safety-first mindset with strong attention to quality, detail, and process discipline

Work Environment

This role starts with a heavy focus on commissioning and ramp-up, then transitions into long-term line reliability and performance:

• Hands-on role on the manufacturing floor
• Fast-paced startup environment during the first several months
• Long-term opportunity to shape maintenance standards and reliability practices for a new line

What Success Looks Like

• You help bring the new tube line online safely and effectively
• Startup issues are identified, understood, and resolved quickl
