Partner with production and operations leadership to reduce downtime and plan repairs.
What we’re looking for
Manufacturing maintenance leadership experience, whether as a manager or supervisor.
Hands-on CNC maintenance experience, particularly with mills and lathes used to cut metal.

Experience improving preventive maintenance practices.
