Maintenance Manager
Starting pay from $100,000 Annual
JOB FUNCTION:
Schedule and direct a crew of Maintenance Mechanics/Technicians involved in one or more maintenance and repair specialties; train and provide work direction and guidance while performing work in one or more of the skilled trades. Promote and maintain a safe work environment.
DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES:
Plant Reliability & Uptime
Own uptime for batch plant systems including batching computer/controls (e.g., Jonel or comparable batching control systems), aggregate bins, conveyors, weigh systems, cement/fly ash silos, and water metering systems
Diagnose and resolve mechanical, electrical, pneumatic, and hydraulic failures across the plant
Lead root-cause analysis on recurring failures rather than repeat-fixing symptoms
Maintain calibration schedules for scales, moisture probes, and batching accuracy systems
Preventive Maintenance Program
Build and manage a PM schedule for all critical assets (batch plant, mixer trucks, loaders, conveyors, dust collection, air compressors)
Track PM compliance and downtime metrics through the CMMS
Maintain spare parts inventory for high-failure-risk components to minimize downtime during breakdowns
Rolling Stock Shop Oversight
Own the day-to-day operation of the rolling stock shop: mixer truck fleet, loaders, forklifts, and other mobile/heavy equipment
Manage PM scheduling, DOT inspection compliance, and DVIR follow-up for mixer trucks and other licensed equipment
Oversee diesel engine, hydraulic, chassis, and drum/mixer system repairs, either performed in-house or coordinated with outside vendors
Track fleet uptime and repair turnaround time; manage shop workflow to keep trucks in rotation for dispatch
Manage rolling stock parts inventory and vendor relationships (tires, hydraulics, drivetrain components)
Supervise rolling stock technicians alongside plant maintenance staff, balancing labor across both functions based on priority
Team Leadership
Directly supervise plant mechanics and electricians; set daily priorities and hold the team accountable to safety and quality standards
Train technicians on batching system troubleshooting, electrical lockout/tagout, and confined space procedures specific to silo and bin work
Conduct performance reviews and support hiring/onboarding of maintenance staff
Safety & Compliance
Enforce lockout/tagout, confined space entry, fall protection, and electrical safety procedures
Maintain compliance with OSHA, MSHA (where applicable), and company EHS standards
Lead incident investigations for equipment-related near misses and injuries
Capital & Project Support
Scope and manage minor capital repairs/upgrades (conveyor replacement, silo work, control system upgrades)
Coordinate with outside contractors and OEM service (batching control vendors, electrical contractors) on major repairs or installs
Support budget planning for maintenance capital and operating spend
Cross-Functional Coordination
Work with Plant Manager and Dispatch to minimize maintenance-driven downtime during peak pour schedules
Coordinate with QC on batching accuracy issues tied to mechanical/electrical faults
Report plant condition, downtime trends, and capital needs to regional/national leadership
Required Qualifications
5+ years of maintenance leadership experience in a ready mix, aggregate, cement, or heavy industrial manufacturing environment
Strong working knowledge of batch plant systems: aggregate handling, weigh batching, cement/water metering, and batching control software
Direct experience managing a rolling stock or heavy equipment repair shop, including mixer truck fleets (diesel engine, hydraulics, chassis, and drum systems)
Electrical troubleshooting ability (motor controls, VFDs, PLCs a plus) and mechanical troubleshooting (conveyors, gearboxes, pneumatics, hydraulics)
Demonstrated ability to lead a hands-on trades team, not just manage from a desk
Working knowledge of OSHA and DOT compliance requirements; MSHA experience a plus if plant includes aggregate mining operations
Experience with CMMS platforms for PM scheduling and downtime tracking across both fixed plant and mobile fleet assets
Familiarity with California-specific fleet/DOT and CARB emissions compliance requirements
Preferred Qualifications
Direct experience with Jonel, Command Alkon, or comparable batch control systems
Journeyman electrician license or equivalent industrial electrical certification
Experience managing maintenance budgets and capital project scoping
Bilingual (English/Spanish) a plus given plant floor demographics
