  • Direct troubleshooting and rapid recovery of critical automation assets to minimize downtime and protect daily order-fulfillment throughput.
  • Oversee maintenance and reliability of all facility systems, including HVAC, fire sprinkler systems, janitorial, water backflow prevention, plumbing, electrical distribution, lighting, and dock equipment.
  • Manage building envelopes and infrastructure - roofing, flooring, doors, and general construction/repair related projects
  • Select and manage third-party contractors and service vendors for specialized facility trades, holding them to scope, quality, cost, and schedule.

Preventive, Condition-Based & Continuous Improvement

  • 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.

KPIs & Performance Management

  • 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, North America.
  • 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.

BASIC QUALIFICATIONS

  • Bachelor's degree in engineering, Industrial Technology, or a related field - or equivalent combination of education and hands-on experience.
  • 10 Years + of progressive maintenance/reliability experience in a high-throughput distribution, warehouse-automation, or manufacturing environment.
