• Track, analyze, and push the Maintenance department's own KPIs forward.
• Conduct routine inspections to catch and fix issues that hurt production equipment reliability.
• Build and keep relationships with suppliers and contractors so you're getting maintenance materials and services on time and at a fair cost.

• Foster a positive work environment and drive the Maintenance team to hit productivity targets and performance standards.
• Fabricate and modify equipment as needed; that's part of the job.
