Tpm Jobs (NOW HIRING)

The TPM Lead is responsible for leading the evolution of Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) at the Brentwood, NH plant from a program of activities into a results-driven operating system that delivers measurable improvements in safety, quality, reliability, productivity, and employee engagement.

This role serves as the site's TPM coach, mentor, and change agent, partnering with Autonomous Maintenance (AM) Teams, TPM Pillar Teams, supervisors, and plant leadership to build TPM capability, accountability, and ownership throughout the organization. The TPM Specialist ensures TPM principles are embedded into daily work practices, team behaviors, and decision-making processes rather than existing as a standalone initiative.

The primary focus of this position is the development of strong, highly engaged, and high-functioning Autonomous Maintenance teams. Through coaching, training, auditing, and hands-on support, the TPM Specialist will drive the advancement of AM maturity while ensuring TPM activities generate sustainable operational results. The role is accountable for identifying gaps between TPM implementation and business performance, challenging activities that do not create value, and helping teams focus on the elimination of losses that impact safety, equipment reliability, productivity, quality, and cost.

Success in this position is measured not by the completion of TPM activities, audits, or documentation, but by the ability to build capable teams that consistently use TPM methodologies to improve operational performance and achieve operational excellence. The TPM Specialist must create a culture where operators and frontline teams own their equipment, solve problems proactively, and continuously improve the business through TPM.
