These business objectives are accomplished in accordance with the principles of lean manufacturing, modeling and teaching employees in a manner that moves the organization toward accomplishing the target condition.

  • Maintaining a safe work environment and a workplace that causes no harm to people or the environment;
  • Leading individual safety discussions and job-specific safety reviews;
  • Supervising a technically capable maintenance workforce of approximately 35 employees, fostering a diverse, customer-focused, responsive, and flexible team environment;

  • Decide and deploy appropriate crewing arrangements for planned and unplanned situations based on absences, schedule requirements, equipment availability, and vacations within labor agreement guidelines;
  • Work with craftspeople to apply root cause analysis and rapid problem-solving techniques to maintain or restore production;
  • Gathering data to assist in the application of root cause analysis and problem-solving techniques for major exceptions;
  • Effective asset management in a cost-effective manner including proper equipment operations, world class equipment availability, and long-term viability of equipment;
  • Advance the business objectives regarding quality (consistency and reliability), costs (supplies), waste elimination, and lean manufacturing;
  • Make decisions about differential performance, both those requiring recognition and reward and those requiring discipline in a fair and equitable manner with supporting documentation of appropriateness of actions taken; and
  • This position must frequently seek cooperation from, persuade or influence others, and must develop relationships and persuade others to resolve problems, change people's minds, or directly produce customer satisfaction. Occasionally, the position deals with sensitive interpersonal situations.

Please note: This position supervises an 8-hour day shift, Monday through Friday (6:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.). The role may also require supervisory coverage of second and third shifts and occasional weekend work to meet operational and business needs.
