  • Operational system owner: Champion and embed the Operating System so it’s understood and consistently applied.
  • Performance management: Partner with the Site Manager to measure/report maintenance KPIs, conduct root cause analyses, execute action items, and remove barriers for continuous improvement.
  • Customer communication: Communicate and escalate priorities, issues, and equipment status to foster a strong, profitable relationship.
  • Cost and schedule control: Help manage labor, overtime, and materials; authorize any overtime; review work orders for schedule adherence and correct gaps quickly.
  • Team cadence: Lead and participate in team meetings as an influential facilitator.

What you’ll bring

  • Clear, confident communication—written and verbal
  • Computer savvy with Microsoft apps, web tools, and CMMS platforms
