Maintenance Planning & Execution:
- Lead, manage, and oversee all maintenance activities for bakery production lines and packaging equipment, ensuring that machinery such as freezers, ovens, mixers, conveyors, depositors, pick-and-place systems, wrappers, and packers are operating at peak performance.

Ensure that all equipment is regularly inspected and serviced to prevent unexpected breakdowns.
- Utilize and manage a Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS) [overseeing a maintenance planner/scheduler] to track work orders, schedule preventive maintenance, and analyze equipment performance data. Leverage this data to make informed decisions that enhance equipment reliability and prevent costly downtime.

Ensure critical parts are always in stock and establish relationships with suppliers to ensure timely and cost- effective procurement.

- Develop and manage the maintenance budget, ensuring cost-effective operations while minimizing expenses. Monitor and report on financial performance and work to reduce unnecessary costs without compromising on equipment reliability and safety.
- Identify opportunities for improving operational efficiency, reducing downtime, and enhancing equipment effectiveness. Lead continuous improvement initiatives by implementing best practices and leveraging data-driven insights to optimize both production and packaging processes.
Requirements:
- Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Industrial Maintenance, or a related field preferred.
- Minimum of 5 years of experience in a maintenance management role, ideally, with at least 3 years in a bakery or food manufacturing environment, specifically with packaging equipment.
