In this job you will expected to coach, mentor, and develop your team while overseeing a top notch maintenance department.

Were a pretty typical manufacturing company with equipment ranging from the 1940s all the way up to the current model year.

Let us know how you think youre experience fits with what we are looking for. If you simply submit a resume with places, youve worked and dates, were not going to have a clue as to how that directly relates to what were looking for. Be creative

What does success look like?  

If machines and systems are up and running with happy operators, well know youre getting the job done. With that, we want you to be a forward thinker in how you run the department.
