Backflow Prevention Jobs in Atlanta, GA (NOW HIRING)

Job Overview:

Pay Range: $35.00hr - $40.00hr

Requirement/Must Have:

• Bachelor’s degree in engineering, Industrial Technology, or a related field — or equivalent combination of education and hands-on experience.
• 7+ years of progressive maintenance/reliability experience in a high-throughput distribution, warehouse-automation, or manufacturing environment.
• 3+ years of leadership experience directly managing supervisors and/or maintenance teams.
• Strong working knowledge of PLCs, robotics, conveyor systems, shipping sorters, RFID readers, and automated sortation (Sure Sort or equivalent) machines.
• Working knowledge of facility systems — HVAC, fire sprinklers, water backflow prevention, roofing, general construction, and commercial kitchen/refrigeration equipment (ovens, coolers, freezers).
• Demonstrated experience with preventive and condition-based maintenance programs and a CMMS platform.
• Proven track record improving maintenance KPIs — MTTR, MTBF, OEE, and breakdown reduction.
• Project management experience with the ability to plan, budget, and execute multiple initiatives simultaneously.
• Availability to work a split shift, Monday–Friday, and to respond to critical equipment issues as needed.

Responsibilities:

• Lead, coach, and develop maintenance supervisors and maintenance technicians across a split-shift, Monday–Friday operation, ensuring full equipment coverage.
• Set clear priorities, work assignments, and performance expectations; build technical bench strength through structured hiring, training, and skills development.
• Foster a safety-first culture and ensure compliance with all EHS, OSHA, LOTO, and site safety standards.
• Own the reliability of PLC-controlled systems (e.g., Allen-Bradley/Rockwell, Siemens), conveyor lines, shipping sorters, Sure Sort sortation machines, robotics, and RFID reader/scan systems.
• Direct troubleshooting and rapid recovery of critical automation assets to minimize downtime and protect daily order-fulfillment throughput.
• Ensure controls, drives, sensors, and material-handling equipment are maintained to manufacturers and site standards.
• Oversee maintenance and reliability of all facility systems, including HVAC, fire sprinkler systems, water backflow prevention, plumbing, electrical distribution, lighting, and dock equipment.
• Manage building envelopes and infrastructure — roofing, flooring, doors, and general construction/repair — and coordinate minor construction and renovation projects on site.
• Maintain commercial kitchen and break-room equipment, including ovens, coolers, freezers, and refrigeration systems.
• Ensure code compliance and timely completion of regulatory inspections and testing (fire/life-safety, backflow certification, HVAC, elevator/dock, and related building codes).
• Select and manage third-party contractors and service vendors for specialized facility trades, holding them to scope, quality, cost, and schedule.
• Build and sustain CMMS-driven preventive maintenance (PM) schedules with high PM compliance and a strong planned-vs-reactive ratio.
• Deploy condition-based maintenance (CBM) techniques — vibration, thermal, electrical, and oil analysis — to detect failures before they cause downtime.
• Drive continuous improvement (CI) initiatives using root cause analysis (RCA) and equipment work orders (EWO) to permanently eliminate recurring failures.
• Track, analyze, and improve all maintenance KPIs, including MTTR, MTBF, OEE, and breakdown frequency.
• Use data and trend analysis to target chronic failures, prioritize resources, and report reliability performance to the Maintenance Director.
• Plan and execute maintenance projects, upgrades, and equipment overhauls — including scoping, scheduling, risk management, and milestone tracking.
• Manage the maintenance budget, spare-parts inventory, and vendor/contractor relationships to control cost while protecting uptime.
• Partner cross-functionally with Operations, HR, EHS, and Logistics to align maintenance activity with production demand.
• Utilize experience with zero-based budgeting and spare-parts optimization.
