- Provide technical guidance and mentorship to maintenance technicians.
- Foster a culture of proactive maintenance, problem-solving, and safety.
- Schedule, delegate, and execute maintenance tasks as a working manager.
- Enforce safety procedures, including lockout/tagout (LOTO), and ensure compliance with OSHA and NFPA standards.
- Conduct safety inspections and training.
- Maintain on-call availability for urgent maintenance needs.

- Strong troubleshooting skills with various injection molding machines (e.g., Engel, Arburg, Nissei, Milacron).
- Experience with PLCs, robotic systems, chillers, dryers, conveyors, and compressors.
- Proficiency in reading and interpreting electrical schematics, hydraulic diagrams, and machine manuals.
- Process Improvement: Familiarity with Total Productive Maintenance (TPM), Lean Manufacturing, and Six Sigma principles (a plus).
- Physical Requirements: Ability to perform regular physical activity, including lifting, standing, and working with tools and machinery.
