TPM Lead

About the role

Lead the evolution of Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) at the Brentwood, NH plant from a program of activities into a results-driven operating system that delivers measurable improvements in safety, quality, reliability, productivity, and employee engagement. This role serves as the site's TPM coach, mentor, and change agent, partnering with Autonomous Maintenance (AM) Teams, TPM Pillar Teams, supervisors, and plant leadership to build TPM capability, accountability, and ownership throughout the organization. The TPM Lead ensures TPM principles are embedded into daily work practices, team behaviors, and decision-making processes rather than existing as a standalone initiative.

The primary focus is the development of strong, highly engaged, and high-functioning Autonomous Maintenance teams. Through coaching, training, auditing, and hands-on support, the TPM Lead will drive the advancement of AM maturity while ensuring TPM activities generate sustainable operational results. The role is accountable for identifying gaps between TPM implementation and business performance, challenging activities that do not create value, and helping teams focus on the elimination of losses that impact safety, equipment reliability, productivity, quality, and cost. Success is measured by the ability to build capable teams that consistently use TPM methodologies to improve operational performance and achieve operational excellence.

Responsibilities

• Build, coach, and develop high-performing Autonomous Maintenance teams capable of owning equipment health and loss elimination.
• Provide leadership, guidance, and support to all TPM Activity Management (AM) and Pillar Teams to advance TPM maturity across the site.

• Identify and challenge TPM activities that are administrative in nature and redirect efforts toward actions that deliver operational results.
• Coach operators, supervisors, pillar leaders, and managers in TPM methodologies, problem-solving, loss elimination, and continuous improvement.
• Monitor the connection between TPM progress and operational performance, ensuring TPM investments generate measurable value.
• Drive accountability for TPM execution while maintaining ownership within the operating teams.
• Support TPM audits, assessments, and maturity reviews while ensuring readiness is achieved through sustainable daily behaviors rather than event preparation.
• Facilitate cross-functional collaboration between AM, PM, FI, EHS, and Training & Development pillars to eliminate chronic losses.
• Act as a visible presence on the plant floor, spending the majority of time coaching teams, observing behaviors, and developing TPM capability.
• Demonstrate strong written and verbal communication skills to effectively engage with team members, leaders, and stakeholders across the site.
• Foster a collaborative and respectful work environment that supports teamwork, continuous improvement, and shared accountability.
• Maintain flexibility in work schedule as needed to support plant priorities, TPM activities, and business needs.

Requirements

• Associate degree with 4+ years of TPM / Lean manufacturing experience.
• Demonstrated understanding of TPM systems beyond administrative support.

• Experience training expansion leaders.
• Experience successfully deploying and accelerating TPM pillars (AM, PM, FI, T&D).
• Proven ability to influence outcomes through others.
• Ability to support a 24/7 operation facility that may require flexible hours and travel as needed; travel will be focused on visits to other OC plants to learn the business and processes.
