Maintenance Manager | Food Manufacturing

Location: Florida | Full-Time | Direct Hire
Salary: $120,000-130,000

Ready to take ownership of maintenance operations in a fast-paced food manufacturing facility?

We are seeking an experienced Maintenance Manager to lead the maintenance organization for a high-volume production operation in Florida. This is a hands-on leadership role for someone who knows how to build strong maintenance teams, improve equipment reliability, reduce downtime, and keep production moving.

If you have a strong background in food or beverage manufacturing and enjoy solving problems, developing technicians, and driving continuous improvement, this could be an excellent next step.

What You'll Lead

Lead, coach, and develop maintenance technicians across multiple shifts
Own preventive and predictive maintenance programs
Improve equipment reliability, uptime, and overall maintenance performance
Troubleshoot complex electrical, mechanical, PLC/automation, pneumatic, and hydraulic systems
Partner with Production, Quality, and Sanitation to support production goals
Identify root causes of recurring equipment failures and implement lasting solutions
Drive TPM, Lean, reliability, and continuous improvement initiatives
Manage maintenance budgets, spare parts, inventory, contractors, and vendors
Lead equipment installations, commissioning, upgrades, and improvement projects
Track maintenance KPIs, including downtime, PM completion, and MTBF
Ensure maintenance activities meet OSHA, FDA, GMP, food safety, and facility standards

What We're Looking For

5-10+ years of maintenance experience in food or beverage manufacturing
3+ years of maintenance leadership or supervisory experience
Bachelor's degree in Engineering preferred, with Electrical Engineering strongly preferred
Strong knowledge of industrial electrical and mechanical systems
Experience with PLCs, automation, controls, pneumatics, and hydraulics
Working knowledge of CMMS and preventive/predictive maintenance programs
Strong troubleshooting and root cause analysis capabilities
Proven ability to lead, coach, and develop skilled maintenance professionals
Experience in baking, high-speed packaging, or high-volume production is a plus

The Person We're Looking For

You don't just react when equipment goes down. You look at why it failed, how to prevent it from happening again, and what the maintenance organization needs to improve long term.

We're looking for a leader who can balance the urgency of daily production with preventive maintenance, reliability, safety, team development, and continuous improvement.

This is a fast-paced manufacturing environment and may require occasional off-shift, weekend, or emergency support.
