Western Sugar

Scottsbluff, NE • On-site

Full-time

Re-posted 15 days ago

Key responsibilities

  • Own maintenance planning and scheduling for all packaging line equipment, including building weekly and daily schedules and maintaining a prioritized maintenance backlog.

  • Lead the site's Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) program by championing Autonomous Maintenance, training operators, and systematically addressing equipment losses to improve OEE.

  • Lead and develop packaging maintenance technicians and shift leads, supporting daily accountability, safety, quality, and continuous improvement initiatives.

Job description

Title: Packaging Maintenance Supervisor 

Location: Scottsbluff, Nebraska

 

Position Overview

The Western Sugar Cooperative is seeking a results-driven Packaging Maintenance Supervisor to lead maintenance planning, execution, and reliability improvement within our packaging and warehouse facility in Scottsbluff, Nebraska. Reporting to the Packaging/Bulk and Terminals Director, with a strong dotted-line partnership to the Maintenance Manager, this role owns the maintenance strategy for packaging line equipment — driving Total Productive Maintenance (TPM), disciplined maintenance planning and scheduling, and Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) improvement across all packaging assets. The ideal candidate is a hands-on, reliability-minded leader who understands value stream thinking, champions waste elimination, and builds operator ownership of equipment care through a mature TPM program.

 

Essential Functions

Maintenance Planning & Scheduling (Primary Focus)

  • Own maintenance planning and scheduling for all packaging line equipment — building weekly and daily schedules that balance preventive maintenance (PM), predictive maintenance (PdM), and corrective work orders against the production plan.
  • Maintain a prioritized maintenance backlog, ranking work orders by risk, criticality, and impact on line uptime, and coordinating planned downtime windows with the packaging schedule.
  • Ensure parts, tools, and procedures are fully kitted ahead of scheduled work to eliminate wrench-time delays.
  • Partner with Procurement and the central Maintenance team on spare parts inventory, applying pull-system and min/max principles to ensure critical packaging spares are available without excess carrying cost.

Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) Leadership

  • Lead the site's TPM program on packaging lines by championing the Autonomous Maintenance pillar — training and coaching packaging shift leads and operators to perform basic cleaning, inspection, lubrication, and minor adjustments (CIL) as part of daily standard work.
  • Own OEE for assigned packaging lines, systematically attacking the six big losses (breakdowns, setup/adjustment, minor stops, reduced speed, startup rejects, process rejects) through structured problem-solving and data-driven prioritization.
  • Apply structured root cause analysis methodologies (5-Why, fishbone/Ishikawa, A3 thinking) to chronic equipment failures, driving permanent corrective actions and updating PM plans to prevent recurrence.
  • Collaborate closely with the Maintenance Manager and reliability resources to continuously mature the TPM program, including Planned Maintenance and Focused Improvement pillar activities, reducing unplanned downtime and improving OEE.
  • Develop, standardize, and sustain PM procedures, CIL checklists, and maintenance Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs); train personnel to standard and hold teams accountable to consistent execution.

Team Supervision & Development

  • Lead and develop packaging maintenance technicians and shift leads using lean leadership principles — setting clear expectations, supporting daily accountability, and coaching teams to drive measurable improvements in safety, quality, delivery, and cost (SQDC).
  • Foster a culture of employee engagement and continuous improvement by actively listening to frontline ideas on equipment reliability, facilitating problem-solving, and recognizing contributions at all levels.
  • Ensure seamless shift-to-shift transitions for open work orders and equipment condition through structured shift handoff processes and visual management tools (equipment tags, OEE boards, backlog boards).
  • Partner with Procurement to maintain reliable packaging material flow, applying pull-system and inventory management principles to minimize shortages and excess.
  • Collaborate closely with the Maintenance team to execute and continuously improve a robust Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) program, reducing unplanned downtime and improving overall equipment effectiveness (OEE).
  • Lead by example in demonstrating the Cooperative's Core Values: Safety, Integrity, Openness & Trust, Teamwork, Entrepreneurship, and Social Responsibility.
  • Ensure compliance with Good Manufacturing Practices (GMPs) and Third-Party Audit standards; treat audit readiness as a daily operating standard, not a periodic event.
  • Partner with the Quality Manager and Process Operations staff to sustain product quality, using data-driven decision making and defect prevention over detection.
  • Drive a customer-first mindset across the team, using customer complaint data as an input to continuous improvement priorities and root cause investigations.
  • Spend the majority of time (80%+) on the floor conducting gemba walks, engaging with employees, removing barriers, and coaching in the moment — leading from where the work happens.
  • Demonstrate the commitment and flexibility required to support operations beyond standard hours when business needs demand it.

Safety, Quality & Compliance

  • Model and champion a zero-injury safety culture by embedding safety into daily standard work, participating in gemba walks, and reinforcing safe behaviors — including lockout/tagout (LOTO) and machine guarding compliance — during all maintenance and PM activities.
  • Sustain a clean, organized, and hazard-free maintenance and packaging environment through rigorous 5S discipline and regular equipment and workplace audits.
  • Ensure maintenance practices support compliance with Good Manufacturing Practices (GMPs) and Third-Party Audit standards; treat equipment and documentation audit readiness as a daily operating standard, not a periodic event.
  • Partner with the Quality Manager and Process Operations staff to sustain product quality, ensuring equipment condition and maintenance execution support defect prevention over detection

Production Support

  • Drive a customer-first mindset across the team, using downtime and defect data as inputs to continuous improvement priorities and root cause investigations.
  • Spend the majority of time (80%+) on the floor conducting gemba walks, engaging with technicians and operators, removing barriers to planned maintenance execution, and coaching in the moment — leading from where the work happens.
  • Lead by example in demonstrating the Cooperative's Core Values: Safety, Integrity, Openness & Trust, Teamwork, Entrepreneurship, and Social Responsibility.
  • Demonstrate the commitment and flexibility required to support operations beyond standard hours when business needs demand it, including maintenance emergencies and planned outage windows.
Qualifications
  • Associate or bachelor's degree preferred (Industrial, Mechanical, or Electrical discipline a plus); equivalent hands-on experience in a lean manufacturing or maintenance environment will be considered.
  • Minimum 2 years of proven supervisory leadership in maintenance, packaging, food manufacturing, or a comparable production environment.
  • Hands-on experience implementing or sustaining a TPM program, including Autonomous Maintenance and OEE improvement.
  • Strong working knowledge of packaging equipment and their common failure modes.
  • Demonstrated track record of leading continuous improvement initiatives with measurable results in equipment reliability, safety, quality, productivity, and waste reduction.
Physical Requirements & Work Environment
  • Ability to work on a manufacturing floor with exposure to moving machinery, noise, and varying temperatures.
  • Ability to stand, walk, bend, and climb for extended periods; occasional lifting up to 50 lbs.
  • Flexibility to support multiple shifts, including occasional nights, weekends, or on-call coverage for maintenance emergencies.
