About the role

This is your opportunity to take ownership of a maintenance organization, build a stronger team, and make measurable operational impact.

Position Summary: We are hiring a Plant Maintenance Manager to lead and strengthen maintenance operations at our 24/7 metal-manufacturing facility in Conway, South Carolina. This is a high-impact leadership role for someone who is equally comfortable on the plant floor, in front of a control panel, and coaching a maintenance team. You will take ownership of a department that is ready to move beyond reactive firefighting and toward stronger preventive maintenance, better planning, greater reliability, and a safer, more accountable operating rhythm. You will work closely with Operations, Engineering, senior leadership, and an onsite controls engineer while leading a team of maintenance technicians across a continuous production environment. If you thrive in demanding industrial settings and want the opportunity to build something better, this role offers meaningful visibility and ownership.

Key Responsibilities: Lead the day-to-day activities, priorities, development, and accountability of the maintenance team in a 24/7 manufacturing operation. Spend significant time on the floor supporting production, safety, engineering, troubleshooting, and continuous-improvement initiatives. Improve preventive and predictive maintenance execution, scheduling discipline, and reliability while reducing emergency-response work. Personally troubleshoot and manipulate existing Allen-Bradley PLC and drive programs, and provide technical direction on automation and controls issues. Lead projects involving hydraulics, compressed air, cooling water, chillers, cooling towers, bridge cranes, plant layout, and equipment improvements. Develop scopes, schedules, cost estimates, and justifications for maintenance and engineering projects. Coach and develop hourly maintenance personnel through training, mentoring, performance management, and clear expectations.

Qualifications: Bachelor’s degree in Electrical or Mechanical Engineering is preferred, although we will consider equivalent technical credentials and directly relevant experience.5+ years of maintenance leadership or management experience in a demanding heavy-industrial environment. Hands-on Allen-Bradley PLC and drive experience, including the ability to troubleshoot and modify existing programs rather than only supervise vendors or technicians. Strong mechanical and industrial-maintenance experience, including hydraulics and exposure to plant utility systems such as compressed air, chillers, and cooling towers. Experience leading maintenance in metals, foundry, automotive, tire manufacturing, or another comparable high-volume production environment. If you are ready to lead from the front, elevate maintenance performance, and make a lasting difference in a complex industrial operation, apply today.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
