This role owns maintenance execution, infrastructure reliability, preventive and predictive maintenance systems, and repair & maintenance (R&M) budget performance, while also leading capital projects and engineering initiatives that support safety, food safety, capacity growth, and cost control.

Operating in a USDA-regulated food manufacturing environment, the Plant Engineer & Maintenance Manager partners closely with Production, FSQA, EHS, and Corporate Engineering to ensure equipment uptime, stable production flow, and long-term asset health. This role blends hands-on engineering execution with people leadership and financial accountability.

Ensure effective work-order execution, scheduling, and prioritization to maximize uptime and minimize unplanned downtime.
Lead root-cause analysis and permanent corrective actions for chronic equipment and infrastructure issues.

Support capital vs. expense decision-making through sound technical and financial analysis.

Lead site-level capital projects from concept through commissioning, including scope development, cost estimates, schedules, contractor coordination, and startup. Build and own 3 year capital plan to meet the needs of the business.
Ensure projects are delivered on time, on budget, and without compromise to safety, food safety, or environmental performance.
Integrate new equipment and systems into maintenance standards, PM plans, and spare-parts strategies.

Safety, Food Safety & Compliance

Champion a safety-first culture within the maintenance and engineering teams.
Ensure all maintenance and engineering activities comply with USDA, FDA, OSHA, and internal safety and quality standards.
Incorporate sanitary design and hygienic maintenance practices into all equipment and facility work.

Leadership & Cross-Functional Partnership

Lead, coach, and develop maintenance personnel through clear expectations, training, and performance management.
Serve as the technical liaison between Operations, FSQA, Safety, Corporate Engineering, OEMs, and contractors.
Provide engineering and maintenance input into production planning, shutdowns, and continuous improvement initiatives.

Requirements

Degree or relevant experience in Engineering or related engineering discipline.
10+ years of experience in manufacturing, with progressive responsibility in maintenance, engineering, or reliability roles.
8+ years demonstrated experience leading maintenance teams and owning PM systems in a production environment.
