Job Position: Maintenance Supervisor

Location: Detroit, MI 48228

Pay Rate: $75000.00-90000.00

Job Overview

As the Maintenance Supervisor for our new and largest Midwest facility, you will lead the shift maintenance team to keep our high-speed canning line, PET bottling line, blending systems, and plant utilities running safely and at rated speed.

You are a hands-on leader: you assign and supervise work, respond quickly to equipment breakdowns, assist with troubleshooting and repairs, ensure preventative maintenance is completed, and develop the technical skills of your team. You will work closely with Production, Quality, and the Controls Engineer to ensure the plant consistently hits its safety, food safety, and output targets.

Leadership Profile & Culture

Associates who are the most effective, influential, and productive leaders within our organization share five core operational traits:

  • Lean Problem Solving: We solve problems in a private company environment using practical thought leadership rather than immediately defaulting to capital improvements. We view capital spending as a last resort and take pride in our lean, entrepreneurial culture.

  • Speed & Urgency: We act quickly. Speed and high responsiveness are core expectations. We stay connected to issues across all shifts and maintain a strong work ethic.

  • Focused Discipline: We practice discipline, create enduring operational frameworks, and lead by example. Our leaders perform material, meaningful work alongside their teams.

  • Servant Leadership: We actively support operations and customer needs, tackling issues head-on with a collaborative, solution-oriented mindset.

  • Customer & Ownership Mindset: We maintain a professional, drama-free environment built on strong relationships, high standards, and continuous operational support.

Key Responsibilities

  • Shift Operations & Supervision: Supervise, schedule, and assign work to Maintenance Technicians on your assigned shift (day or night rotation).

  • Hands-On Maintenance & Response: Plan, prioritize, and participate in hands-on repair, maintenance, and line changeovers. Respond swiftly to equipment breakdowns, including emergency and after-hours support.

  • Preventative Maintenance: Assist the Maintenance Manager in executing the annual preventative maintenance (PM) plan, ensuring PMs are completed on schedule and fully documented in the CMMS.

  • Equipment & Facility Inspection: Visually inspect machinery, buildings, grounds, and life-safety systems (fire alarms, sprinklers, cameras) to address issues before they cause downtime. Maintain a “ready-now”plant standard for visitors, auditors, and leadership.

  • Spare Parts Management: Assist in building and maintaining the critical spare parts inventory and list.

  • Root-Cause Analysis: Lead troubleshooting and root-cause analysis on repeat equipment failures in coordination with the Controls Engineer and Maintenance Manager.

  • Downtime Reporting: Track shift downtime, analyze failure causes, and conduct thorough handoffs at shift change.

  • Safety & Regulatory Compliance: Enforce all plant safety requirements (Lockout/Tagout, machine guarding, IIPP) and monitor compliance with GMP, HACCP, SQF, and SOP standards alongside the Quality Assurance Manager.

  • Team Development: Train and mentor technicians on equipment operations, safety protocols, and technical maintenance standards.

Requirements & Qualifications

  • Experience: 5+ years of industrial maintenance experience in high-speed beverage, food, or packaging manufacturing, including 1–2+ years in a lead or supervisory role.

  • Education: Technical degree or certificate in industrial maintenance, mechanical, or electrical technology (or equivalent hands-on experience).

  • Technical Troubleshooting: Strong hands-on mechanical and electrical troubleshooting skills on high-speed equipment (fillers, seamers, cappers, tunnel pasteurizers, labelers, case packers, palletizers).

  • Systems Knowledge: Working knowledge of pneumatics, hydraulics, motors, VFDs, and basic PLC troubleshooting, as well as plant utilities (air compressors, chillers, boilers, CO2, and nitrogen systems).

  • CMMS & Software: Experience using CMMS software to schedule, assign, and close out work orders. Competent with computers and Microsoft Office.

  • Compliance Standards: Working knowledge of OSHA, Lockout/Tagout, GMP, HACCP, and SQF requirements.

  • Schedule Flexibility: Ability to work nights, weekends, and holidays as required by the production schedule.

  • Licensing (Preferred): Class III Boiler & Refrigeration License is a plus.
