Maintenance Supervisor, Onsite-Allentown, PA
Position Summary
The Maintenance Supervisor is the frontline leader responsible for safe and effective execution of maintenance work across the manufacturing floor. This is a floor-focused leadership role, not primarily an administrative position.
The Supervisor owns today’s execution: technician deployment, active-job support, break-in control, repair quality, safe work practices, communication with Operations, and the handoff of equipment risk. The Maintenance Planner owns future work readiness and detailed planning.
The Job:
- Receive shift handoff and review equipment currently down, unresolved issues, overnight break-ins, and critical plant risks.
- Confirm technician attendance, available skills, and daily work assignments.
- Participate in the Daily Tier meeting and communicate maintenance status, risks, expected return-to-service timing, and needed escalation.
- Conduct the daily Supervisor/Planner huddle and provide the Planner with field conditions, execution issues, and upcoming access needs.
- Spend the majority of the working day on the manufacturing floor supporting maintenance execution.
- Visit active maintenance jobs, confirm safe work practices, remove roadblocks, and verify work is progressing to plan.
- Coordinate equipment access and production priorities with Operations without allowing every request to become an emergency.
- Manage break-in work and document why scheduled work was displaced.
- Ensure appropriate LOTO, permits, safe-work requirements, tools, and PPE are in place before and during maintenance work.
- Verify repair quality and support proper equipment turnover before returning equipment to normal service.
- Identify temporary repairs and ensure permanent corrective work is created and prioritized.
- Recognize repeat failures and trigger escalation for RCA or reliability review when needed.
- Review technician work-order closeout for meaningful findings, labor, failure information, parts usage, and follow-up work.
- Coach technicians on troubleshooting, precision repair, housekeeping, maintenance standards, and work-order discipline.
- Provide a clear end-of-shift handoff for unresolved equipment, safety, parts, and production risks.
What This Role Owns
- Safe and effective execution of maintenance work during the shift.
- Technician assignments, coaching, accountability, and field support.
- Management of legitimate emergency and break-in work.
- Protection of the approved schedule whenever plant conditions allow.
- Repair-quality verification and accurate work-order feedback.
The Person:
- Strong industrial maintenance background with practical mechanical and/or electrical experience.
- High school diploma, Associate's degree preferred.
- 7 years' experience in maintenance with 3-5 years in a supervisory capacity.
- Demonstrated ability to lead technicians in a manufacturing environment.
- Working knowledge of LOTO, safe work, permits, and industrial maintenance hazards.
- Ability to prioritize multiple equipment issues without losing control of scheduled work.
- Working knowledge of CMMS work orders and maintenance documentation.
- Strong communication and problem-solving skills.
