About the role

Senior leadership role responsible for building and running the Arsenal-1 Building 1 maintenance organization, ensuring maintenance strategy, reliability, and uptime for multiple programs in a greenfield/early-stage facility.

Responsibilities

  • Set the maintenance strategy and build the organization from scratch — define the operating model, org structure, shift coverage, budget, and multi-year staffing plan for Arsenal-1 Building 1, and grow it as production ramps across two shifts.
  • Build and lead a multi-layer team — hire and develop maintenance managers and supervisors beneath you, along with skilled-trades technicians (electrical/controls, mechanical/millwright, and facilities) and planners/schedulers spanning administrative, tactical, and strategic roles.
  • Stand up the preventive and predictive maintenance program — develop PM schedules, job plans, and reliability strategies for a mixed environment of manual and automated assembly, machining and fabrication, and building/facility systems.
  • Own the spare parts and MRO strategy and budget — define critical spares for the program plan of record, set stocking levels and reorder points, establish the storeroom, own the maintenance operating and capital budget, and build OEM and supplier relationships to protect uptime.
  • Deploy maintenance systems and data — implement and administer the CMMS for work order management, asset tracking, PM compliance, and KPI reporting, configured to the enterprise standard.
  • Support new equipment and automation launches — partner with controls engineering, automation, and facilities on equipment installation, commissioning, spare-parts provisioning, and maintainability from day one.
  • Own tooling, calibration, and documentation — establish calibration schedules, asset registers, equipment manuals, and maintenance records for the site.
  • Drive reliability and continuous improvement — track and improve uptime, MTBF/MTTR, PM compliance, and cost, and lead root-cause analysis on chronic and high-impact failures.
  • Roll up your sleeves — work shoulder-to-shoulder with manufacturing on the floor, and get hands-on when it counts, especially in the early stand-up phase.

Qualifications

  • 8+ years of maintenance experience in manufacturing environments, including 4+ years in maintenance leadership roles managing managers and/or supervisors.
  • Based on-site at Arsenal-1 in Ashville, Ohio.

  • Hands-on experience with OEMs and automated production equipment.
  • Skilled-trades background, or engineering experience paired with a genuinely hands-on approach.
  • Working knowledge of CMMS/work-order systems, tooling, and calibration.
  • Proven ability to operate at both the strategic and shop-floor levels.
  • Strong leadership, communication, and cross-functional collaboration skills, especially with manufacturing, controls, and automation teams.
