• Maintain interior and exterior facility conditions including floors, walls, ceilings, and roof integrity; identify and report structural concerns to the Plant Manager.
• Coordinate and oversee work performed by outside contractors and vendors for facility repairs, inspections, and capital projects; ensure vendor work meets safety requirements and quality standards before sign-off.
• Respond promptly to reported facility issues including leaks, temperature complaints, lighting outages, door malfunctions, and other building concerns; prioritize resolution to minimize disruption to operations.
• Execute and document preventive maintenance tasks on a scheduled basis using the facility’s CMMS (computerized maintenance management system).
• Respond to emergency breakdowns and equipment failures with a sense of urgency to minimize production downtime.
• Perform and enforce full lockout/tagout (LOTO) procedures on all equipment before maintenance work begins.
• Maintain a clean, organized, and safe work environment in the maintenance shop and throughout the facility.
• Mentor and provide technical guidance to manufacturing team members.
• Communicate equipment and facility status, completed work, and pending issues to the Plant Manager and Production Supervisor.
