Maintenance Shift Manager

Direct Hire

Schedule: 12-Hour Nights, 6:00 PM - 6:30 AM, 2-2-3 Rotation

Employment Type: Full-Time, Direct Hire

Salary Range: $87,300 - $97,700 / year

About the Opportunity:

Lidestri Foods is looking for a hands-on Maintenance Shift Manager to lead the mechanical and electrical backbone of a fast-paced, high-speed food manufacturing operation at the Lee Road facility. If you're a natural problem-solver who thrives on keeping equipment running, people safe, and OEE climbing, this is your shot to lead a team that directly powers production.

You'll be the go-to for everything from emergency repairs to preventive maintenance strategy, partnering closely with Production Supervisors, Sanitation, and Project Engineering to keep the plant moving safely and efficiently, 24/7.

This role leads a team of 5-6 maintenance technicians (Mechanical/Electrical generalists, plus dedicated Controls Techs handling PLC-level work) on lines running 200-1,000 jars per minute. You'll spend most of your time on the floor, with roughly 10-15% in office/admin work. Key equipment includes depalletizers, conveyor systems, 30,000-gallon batching tanks, fillers, cappers, labelers, casers, palletizers, and X-ray inspection systems.

"2-2-3 rotation" refers to days on/off - not a rotating shift time. This is a consistent night shift.

What You'll Do

• Lead and organize maintenance staff across a 7-day production schedule

• Serve as point person for emergency repairs and new maintenance requests

• Partner with Production Supervisors on equipment set-ups and facility issues

• Audit, coach, and train maintenance staff on best practices

• Lead LOTO, Confined Space, and Hot Work Permit compliance

• Drive preventive maintenance strategy via CMMS

• Collaborate with Project Engineering on design/installation projects

• Manage schedules, performance reviews, and team development

What You Bring

• AAS or BS in Mechanical or Electrical Engineering

• 2-5 years leading maintenance in a 24/7 continuous operation

• 5+ years in food, beverage, pharma, or high-speed CPG manufacturing

• CMMS proficiency; strong Microsoft Office skills

• Lean Manufacturing / Lean Six Sigma experience preferred

• CPMP and/or Lean Six Sigma Certification a plus

• Comfortable with floor conditions: wet/slippery areas, temperature variation, standing, climbing, lifting to 30 lbs.

Candidates with strong Production Supervisor + maintenance experience are encouraged to apply even without an exact title match
