• Identify unsafe conditions and take action to resolve or escalate.

Parts, Vendors & Budget

• Purchase parts, components, and supplies.

• Work with vendors to improve service and control costs.

• Manage purchase orders and maintenance spending within budget.

• Look for smarter ways to manage inventory and reduce downtime.

Who Thrives Here

You're the kind of leader who:

• Wants to understand why equipment fails-not just restart it.

• Believes PM should prevent problems, not check boxes.

• Moves easily between the shop floor, production, and leadership meetings.

• Develops technicians instead of becoming the "fix‑it" person for every issue.

• Understands how uptime, safety, cost, labor, and quality connect.

• Keeps documentation, parts, and processes organized.

• Balances today's urgent production needs with tomorrow's reliability work.

Physical & Work Environment
