You know what good maintenance looks like on a busy manufacturing site. The right people on the right priorities. Planned work completed when it should be. Breakdowns properly investigated, not temporarily patched up. Mechanical, electrical, automation and planning working together. Production knowing where they stand. That is what this business wants its maintenance function to deliver consistently. As Maintenance Manager, you will take responsibility for the day-to-day performance of a large maintenance function within a complex 24/7 heavy manufacturing environment. There are experienced engineers, strong technical knowledge and people who care about keeping the plant running. What the business now needs is a Maintenance Manager who can bring greater structure to the operation and turn maintenance plans into action. You will work across mechanical, electrical, automation, shift maintenance and planning, making sure priorities are clear, resources are used properly and the work that has been agreed actually gets completed. This is not a role where you will manage from a spreadsheet. As Maintenance Manager, you will need to understand what is happening across the plant. Why has the same piece of equipment failed again? Why has planned maintenance been pushed back? Are the right people and parts available to complete the job? What is preventing the supervisors and engineers from delivering? What needs escalating, and what can be resolved by the team? You will work closely with Operations and the wider engineering leadership team to agree daily and weekly priorities, improve equipment availability and create a stronger balance between reactive, preventive, and predictive maintenance. As Maintenance Manager, you will make sure Mechanical, Electrical, Automation, Planning and Shift Maintenance operate as one joined-up function. That will mean: Leading the daily delivery of the maintenance plan. Improving the balance between breakdown response and planned maintenance. Reducing repeat failures through stronger root cause analysis. Improving MTTR, MTBF, planned maintenance compliance and equipment reliability. Making sure maintenance schedules are realistic, properly resourced and completed. Improving shift handovers and communication between engineering and production. Supporting and developing supervisors, engineers and apprentices. Making better use of CMMS information and maintenance history. Managing contractors, critical spares and external suppliers. Supporting the plant through major breakdowns, outages and critical incidents. Maintaining strong safety, compliance and engineering standards. You will also be joining at an important point for this established business. A number of experienced engineers are approaching retirement, while the business is looking to develop more apprentices and less experienced engineers. There is a lot of knowledge within the maintenance team. The challenge is making sure that knowledge does not leave the business when people retire. As Maintenance Manager, you will help capture that experience, create stronger ways of working and develop the people who will support the plant in the future. You will already have managed maintenance teams within heavy manufacturing, metals, foundry, casting, rolling, steel, aluminium, process manufacturing or another demanding 24/7 environment. You may currently be working as a Maintenance Manager, Engineering Manager, Maintenance Engineering Manager or senior engineering leader who is ready to take responsibility for a larger and more complex function. You will understand mechanical and electrical systems, automation and controls, maintenance planning and equipment reliability. More importantly, you will understand the reality of supporting live production. Plans change. Breakdowns happen. Priorities compete. Your job as Maintenance Manager will be to bring calm, structure and clear decisions when the pressure is on. You will know when to challenge, when to listen and when to bring Maintenance and Operations together to agree what matters most. Because strong maintenance performance is not created through KPIs alone. It comes from clear expectations, good planning, consistent leadership and people who understand what they are responsible for. What is in it for you? As Maintenance Manager you will receive a basic salary of up to £80,000, with some flexibility for an exceptional candidate. You will also receive: A substantial performance-related bonus linked to company and individual performance. - A strong employer pension contribution. - Private medical insurance. - Life assurance. - A generous holiday allowance, including bank holidays. You will work a shorter-than-standard working week within a flexible daytime arrangement, giving you some freedom around how you structure your hours. There is flexibility within the working pattern, but this is a senior operational role within a 24/7 manufacturing environment. That may occasionally mean working outside normal hours, at weekends or on public holidays. It will not be the everyday expectation, but it is an honest part of taking operational responsibility for a plant of this scale. This search is being handled confidentially and, should you be selected, you will be asked to sign an NDA. If you are already working as a Maintenance Manager, Engineering Manager or senior Maintenance Manager and know how to bring structure, accountability and better maintenance performance to a demanding manufacturing environment, I would be interested in speaking with you.
