What You’ll Do

Lead Complex Repairs & Overhauls

Take the lead on major repairs and rebuilds for critical production equipment including high-shear mixers, chemical transfer pumps, gearboxes, hydraulic systems, and electrical control panels.
Diagnose and repair failures related to abrasive materials and chemical exposure, ensuring compatibility with process-specific requirements.
Plan work strategically to minimize production downtime.

Advanced Troubleshooting & Problem Solving

Perform root cause analysis on complex mechanical, electrical, and hydraulic issues using advanced diagnostic tools.
Troubleshoot process-driven challenges such as viscosity variation, inconsistent output, and automated packaging line issues, collaborating closely with Quality and Production.
Understand how systems interact — from pump-motor alignment to sensor feedback loops — and resolve issues holistically.

Preventive & Predictive Maintenance Leadership

Build and refine preventive maintenance programs using predictive techniques like oil analysis and vibration trending.
Optimize maintenance schedules based on real-world equipment usage and wear patterns.
Maintain accurate, compliant records in Limble CMMS.

Continuous Improvement & Process Optimization

Recommend and implement equipment upgrades that improve throughput, reliability, energy usage, and safety.
Apply lean maintenance and GMP principles to reduce waste and increase uptime.
Partner with Engineering and Operations to fine-tune process parameters for consistent product quality.

Training, Mentorship & Team Development

Mentor and train Level 1 and Level 2 Technicians through hands-on coaching and knowledge sharing.
Support skill development in areas like hydraulics, vacuum systems, diagnostics, and safe handling of hazardous materials.
Help build a team culture grounded in respect, accountability, and shared success.

Vendor & Project Coordination

Work with external vendors on specialized repairs, equipment optimization, and packaging system improvements (e.g., ProSys).
Evaluate proposals, manage timelines, and ensure work meets safety, quality, and environmental standards.
Source and specify chemical-compatible, corrosion-resistant components.

Reporting & Insight Sharing

Analyze downtime, failure trends, and maintenance data to identify improvement opportunities.
