Maintenance Manager, Food Manufacturing, Greater Indianapolis

We’re seeking a hands-on Maintenance Manager to lead plant reliability and drive day-to-day equipment performance in a fast-paced food manufacturing environment. This role is critical to stabilizing operations, reducing downtime, and building a more disciplined, preventive maintenance culture.

You’ll take ownership of all maintenance activities across production lines, utilities, and facility systems—leading a team of technicians while ensuring rapid response to issues and consistent execution of planned work.

This is an opportunity for a strong maintenance leader who thrives on the floor, can troubleshoot across mechanical and electrical systems, and is motivated to move a plant from reactive firefighting to structured, reliable operations.

What You’ll Own

  • Equipment uptime, reliability, and overall plant performance
  • Execution and improvement of the preventive maintenance program
  • Rapid response and recovery from unplanned downtime
  • Maintenance team leadership, development, and accountability
  • Spare parts readiness and maintenance cost control

What Success Looks Like

  • Measurable reduction in unplanned downtime and repeat failures
  • Improved PM completion, planning, and work order execution
  • More stable, predictable equipment performance across key lines
  • Stronger technician capability and consistency on the floor
  • Controlled maintenance spend with less reliance on emergency repairs

What We’re Looking For

  • 3 years of Maintenance Management experience in food or beverage manufacturing
  • Strong hands-on troubleshooting across mechanical and electrical systems
  • Ability to lead from the floor while driving structure and accountability
  • Experience in improving PM programs and reducing reactive maintenance
  • Practical approach to problem-solving, team development, and execution
