Maintenance Supervisor

Why should you apply?

This is an opportunity to join a global manufacturing organisation at a point where the maintenance function has real scope for improvement and development.

Rather than stepping into an already mature maintenance environment, the successful candidate will have the opportunity to introduce greater structure, planning and accountability across the function while developing the existing team.

Key responsibilities

• Lead, coach and develop a team of maintenance technicians
• Drive current operations towards planned and preventative maintenance
• Improve maintenance planning, work order tracking and execution
• Lead progress against the site’s two year Maintenance Excellence programme
• Improve equipment reliability and reduce recurring breakdowns
• Build greater engagement across the maintenance team
• Provide hands on technical support where required
• Work closely with production and other site stakeholders
• Utilise SAP to manage and track maintenance activity

The ideal candidate for this position will have experience in the following:

• Mechanical trade qualification with a strong hands on mechanical capability
• Proven track record in a Supervisory role with strong people leadership and trades management capability
• Experience within manufacturing, processing or a comparable industrial environment
• Exposure to planned and preventative maintenance systems
• Experience improving maintenance reliability, planning or work management
• SAP experience
• The capability and ambition to progress into broader maintenance leadership
