Equipment Engineering Manager

Key Responsibilities

• Lead the Maintenance Team: Supervise, train, and develop a team of equipment engineering and maintenance technicians (electrical, mechanical, and facilities) to drive proactive preventive maintenance but also ensure rapid response and high-quality repairs as needed.
• A key priority is the aptitude and mentality to ensure full understanding of the function of all key equipment so that maintenance and control can be founded on detailed understanding of the equipment design and the way the machines are supposed to work.
• Minimize Downtime: Develop, implement, and manage a best-in-class Preventive Maintenance (PM) and Predictive Maintenance (PdM) program for all critical MV/HV production equipment and facility infrastructure.
• Monitoring and Maintenance System Management: Utilize a Monitoring and Maintenance System to schedule work orders, track equipment history, manage spare parts inventory, and analyze equipment performance metrics (e.g., OEE, Mean Time Between Failure - MTBF).
• High-Voltage Focus: Possess or rapidly develop specialized knowledge to oversee the maintenance and troubleshooting of complex electrical systems, including high-voltage testing bays, transformer winding machinery, and automated controls (PLCs, SCADA).

Qualifications

• Education: Bachelor's degree in Mechanical (preferred) or Electrical Engineering, or a technical degree combined with extensive maintenance management experience.
• Experience: Minimum of 8+ years of progressive experience in industrial maintenance management, with at least 3 years directly overseeing complex, heavy machinery in a manufacturing environment.
• Technical Expertise: Strong hands-on knowledge of electrical, mechanical, hydraulic, and pneumatic systems found in industrial production environments. Ability to read and understand technical documentation to understand the workings of all equipment in the factory is essential. Specific experience with the maintenance and troubleshooting of Medium/High Voltage power equipment and controls is highly desirable.
• Skills: Demonstrated ability to implement continuous improvement and Lean maintenance principles. Excellent root cause analysis (RCA) and problem-solving skills for complex equipment failures.
• Certifications: Relevant certifications (e.g., CMRP, Reliability Engineering) are a strong plus.
