- Lead predictive, preventive, and reactive maintenance strategies.

- Define and maintain optimal spare‑parts inventory while minimizing non‑moving stock.

- Negotiate with suppliers and contractors to optimize maintenance costs.

- Recommend and implement energy‑saving initiatives across electricity, gas, and water.

- Oversee site services including boilers, chillers, air handling units, chemical distribution systems, compressed air systems, and trade waste systems.

- Prepare and manage annual maintenance budgets in collaboration with the site financial controller.

- Maintain site documentation including layout drawings, manuals, validations, and certifications.

- Plan and execute annual plant shutdowns efficiently.

- Lead and develop the maintenance team, including KPI reviews and training.

- Support new site projects and continuous improvement initiatives.

- Perform additional duties as reasonably requested by your manager.

What We’re Looking For

- Proven experience in site maintenance management within a manufacturing or industrial setting.

- Strong leadership, planning, and problem‑solving skills.

- Experience with SAP PM or similar maintenance systems.

- Ability to manage budgets and drive cost‑effective solutions.

- Commitment to safety, compliance, and continuous improvement.
