Maintenance Manager

Food Talent Solutions has partnered with an established food manufacturer to identify a hands-on Maintenance Manager for its Omaha facility.

This individual will lead a team of three maintenance technicians and take ownership of maintenance execution across a single-shift operation with approximately 60–70 employees. The role requires someone who can lead the department while remaining actively involved in troubleshooting, repairs and plant-floor support.

Why consider this opportunity?

• Single-shift production schedule

• Smaller plant where the Maintenance Manager can make a visible impact

• Direct leadership of an established maintenance team

• Opportunity to improve maintenance systems and reliability practices

• Stable food-manufacturing environment serving retail and foodservice customers

Day to Day:

• Lead, schedule and develop three maintenance technicians

• Oversee preventive, predictive and corrective maintenance activities

• Troubleshoot electrical, mechanical, pneumatic and refrigeration-related systems

• Support food-processing, conveying and packaging equipment

• Improve equipment reliability, PM execution and overall plant uptime

• Coordinate maintenance priorities with production, quality and sanitation

• Manage work orders, maintenance records, spare parts and outside vendors

• Support equipment installations, plant projects and continuous improvements

• Ensure maintenance work meets plant safety, food-safety and regulatory requirements

TARGET CANDIDATE

The ideal candidate will have maintenance leadership experience within food, beverage or another high-speed manufacturing environment. Strong electrical and mechanical troubleshooting skills are important, along with experience leading technicians and developing effective preventive-maintenance practices.

Protein, meat-processing, packaging or refrigerated-manufacturing experience would be especially relevant. This position is best suited for a leader who is equally comfortable managing the department and stepping onto the floor to help solve technical problems.
