About the Opportunity

We are a minority-owned manufacturing company in the Atlanta area specializing in the development and manufacturing of consumer products. Our operation brings laboratory, manufacturing, filling, and packaging capabilities together within a fast-paced production environment.

We are seeking an experienced Maintenance Manager to lead our maintenance function and ensure the reliability of production equipment and facility utilities.

This is a hands-on leadership position, not a desk-only management role. The Maintenance Manager will lead and develop a small team of maintenance technicians while remaining directly involved in troubleshooting complex equipment issues, improving equipment reliability, and strengthening preventive and predictive maintenance programs.

What You'll Do

• Lead, schedule, coach, and develop maintenance technicians

• Assign daily maintenance priorities and ensure work is completed safely and effectively

• Lead troubleshooting and repair of complex production equipment failures

• Perform hands-on electrical, controls, mechanical, pneumatic, and hydraulic troubleshooting as needed

• Own the site's preventive and predictive maintenance programs

• Improve PM compliance, equipment uptime, and overall equipment reliability

• Analyze recurring failures and lead root-cause corrective actions

• Maintain and improve the critical spare parts program

• Support the reliability of facility utilities, including boilers, air compressors, and HVAC systems

• Coordinate maintenance activities and equipment downtime with Production

• Manage outside contractors and specialty service providers

• Maintain accurate maintenance records and work orders within the maintenance management system

• Plan and support equipment installations, modifications, commissioning, and planned maintenance outages

• Track key maintenance metrics including downtime, PM completion, and repeat equipment failures

• Partner closely with Production, Quality, Engineering/R&D, Human Resources, and plant leadership

• Support safety programs including lockout/tagout, hot work, contractor safety, and equipment safety

• Assist with maintenance budgeting and cost management

• Serve as a trusted member of plant leadership and provide additional leadership support when needed

What We're Looking For

• 5+ years of industrial maintenance experience within a manufacturing environment

• 2+ years of experience leading or supervising maintenance technicians

• Strong hands-on electrical and controls troubleshooting skills

• Working knowledge of PLC-controlled manufacturing equipment

• Strong mechanical troubleshooting capabilities

• Experience with pneumatic and hydraulic systems

• Demonstrated experience developing and managing preventive and predictive maintenance programs

• Experience troubleshooting complex manufacturing equipment failures

• Experience maintaining facility utilities such as boilers, compressed air systems, and HVAC

• Strong understanding of equipment reliability, downtime reduction, and root-cause problem solving

• Experience coaching, training, developing, and holding maintenance employees accountable

• Working knowledge of manufacturing safety practices including OSHA requirements

• Ability to work collaboratively with Production, Quality, and other plant functions

• Ability to respond to occasional equipment or utility emergencies outside normal working hours

Preferred Qualifications

• 7+ years of industrial maintenance experience

• Experience in chemical, food, beverage, bottling, cosmetics, personal care, pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, or another regulated manufacturing environment

• Experience working in a GMP/cGMP manufacturing environment

• Experience with CMMS software

• Experience with TPM, World Class Maintenance, or another formal reliability program

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical, Mechanical, Chemical Engineering, or a related technical discipline

Equivalent hands-on industrial maintenance experience will be considered in place of a degree.

The Right Fit

We're looking for more than someone who can manage a maintenance schedule.

The right Maintenance Manager is a visible, hands-on leader who is equally comfortable developing technicians and stepping onto the production floor to help diagnose a difficult equipment failure. You should be able to establish priorities, hold your team accountable, improve technical capability, and build maintenance systems that reduce downtime rather than simply reacting when equipment fails.

You'll be successful here if you enjoy solving problems, developing people, improving equipment reliability, and taking ownership of the maintenance function.

What We Offer

• $105,000–$115,000 base salary

• Annual bonus opportunity up to 5%

• Profit sharing potential

• Leadership role with direct influence on plant reliability and performance

• Opportunity to develop and strengthen a growing maintenance organization

• Stable, full-time employment with a minority-owned manufacturing company
