Senior Maintenance Manager

About the role

We are seeking a proven, results-oriented Senior Maintenance Manager to lead and transform the maintenance organization of a large EPDM rubber roofing facility. This individual will oversee a 60-person department and a substantial MRO operation, with full accountability for improving equipment reliability, maintenance efficiency, and overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) through the disciplined application of Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) and Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM) principles. The ideal candidate brings deep technical knowledge, strong leadership, and a track record of measurable improvements in maintenance KPIs and site wide OEE performance. The successful candidate will comfortably work with the reliability data as they are on the plant floor and demonstrate a drive to build a maintenance organization that prevents failures instead of reacting to them.

Responsibilities

• Lead, develop, and manage the maintenance team (~60 personnel), including mechanical, electrical, planning and the reliability engineering staff.
• Own and optimize the MRO spend, balancing cost control with uptime improvement.
• Champion and implement formal TPM methodologies, building operator engagement, autonomy, and a proactive maintenance culture across shifts.
• Apply RCM techniques to assess failure modes, prioritize assets, and develop sustainable preventive/predictive strategies.
• Drive continuous improvement of core maintenance KPIs, including:
• Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF)
• Mean Time to Repair (MTTR)
• Planned vs. Unplanned Maintenance Ratio
• PM Compliance & Backlog Management
• Maintenance Cost per Unit Produce
• Deliver step-change improvements in OEE performance by partnering with production, engineering, and reliability teams.
• Lead CMMS optimization, ensuring work order accuracy, backlog visibility, and meaningful data for decision-making.
• Ensure maintenance readiness and involvement in capital projects, equipment commissioning, and upgrades.
• Build a pipeline of talent through training, mentoring, and succession planning; reinforce a culture of accountability, safety, and pride in craftsmanship.
• Demonstrate a commitment to communicating, improving, and adhering to health, safety and environmental policies in all work environments and areas.
• Promote a culture of safety and exhibit these behaviors.

Requirements

• Education: Bachelors degree required. Masters degree preferred.
• Field of Study Preferred: Mechanical, Electrical, or Industrial Engineering, or equivalent technical field.
• Required Work Experience: 10+ years of maintenance leadership experience in a high-volume manufacturing environment, preferably in chemicals, rubber, automotive, or similar heavy industry.
• Demonstrated success implementing TPM frameworks and achieving measurable improvements in OEE and maintenance KPIs.
• Working knowledge of RCM, FMEA, CMMS, and condition-based monitoring technologies (vibration, thermography, oil analysis).
• Strong financial acumen – able to manage multimillion-dollar MRO budgets with cost discipline and strategic foresight.
• Experience leading large, multi-shift maintenance teams in a union environment.
• Outstanding leadership, communication, and team-building skills – able to influence across functions and levels.
• Additional Requirements: Six Sigma or Lean Manufacturing certification. CMMS system implementation or optimization experience (e.g., SAP PM, Maximo, Infor). Experience in large-scale polymer, rubber, or continuous process manufacturing environments.
