About the job
Tired of putting out fires? We’re looking for someone who’d rather prevent them.
Westphal Staffing is partnering with a well-established manufacturing company in the Wisconsin Rapids area that is looking for an experienced Maintenance Manager to take the lead on its maintenance operations.
This isn’t just about fixing equipment when something breaks. A major focus of this role is helping move the maintenance department from reactive to proactive—strengthening preventative and predictive maintenance, tackling root causes, improving uptime, and leading projects and initiatives that make the entire operation run better.
What you’ll be doing:
Lead, coach, and develop the maintenance team
Drive preventative and predictive maintenance initiatives to reduce unplanned downtime
Lead facility, engineering, equipment improvement, and CAPEX projects
Develop stronger troubleshooting and root-cause processes
Help improve equipment reliability and overall plant uptime
Plan and coordinate scheduled outages
Promote a strong safety culture, including LOTO and other safety programs
What we’re looking for:
10+ years of progressive multi-trade industrial maintenance experience
Previous maintenance leadership/management experience preferred
Strong knowledge of hydraulics, pneumatics, PLCs, electrical and mechanical maintenance
Solid understanding of preventative and predictive maintenance
Experience with CMMS systems, troubleshooting, and blueprint reading
A leader who can coach, influence, problem-solve, and get people excited about improving the way things are done
If you’re the kind of maintenance leader who asks “How do we keep this from happening again?” instead of just “How fast can we fix it?”—we want to talk to you!
