Maintenance Workshop Site Manager
A global leader in steel equipment and technology is commissioning a new facility in the Ashland / Apple Grove area and needs an experienced Site Manager to run the maintenance workshop from the ground up. This is not a role where you're inheriting someone else's program. You're building it.
If you've spent 8+ years in the iron and steel industry, you've led maintenance or operations teams, and you're ready to step into something that isn't the same job at a different address - this is worth your attention.
What You'll Do
Lead and manage the maintenance workshop team at a new facility, ensuring equipment is properly maintained, resources are productive, and safety standards are upheld
Help define production schedules for thin-slab caster operations, factoring in mold and segment workshop capacity
Identify obstacles before they become problems - material shortages, design gaps, scheduling conflicts - and drive resolution
Continuously evaluate staff performance and provide direct, timely feedback
Participate in and lead root cause analysis when equipment or process issues arise
Drive continuous improvement of procedures and machinery across the site
Own accurate time and performance reporting for your team
Make personnel decisions within HR policy and represent the maintenance function at the site level
What We're Looking For
8 or more years of experience within the iron and steel industry - this is a hard requirement
A proven track record in a managerial or supervisory role; individual contributors will not be considered
Maintenance management experience with a clear understanding of reliability engineering strategies - planned maintenance, predictive programs, RCFA
Hands-on knowledge of either an operational or maintenance environment in steel or metals (melt shop, rolling mill, casting, machine shop, or equivalent)
Engineering degree in mechanical, electrical, or electronic engineering - or equivalent field experience that demonstrates the same depth
Willingness to travel domestically and internationally in the first year for training and site visits with the OEM team
