Job Description

If you’re the kind of maintenance leader who doesn’t just react to breakdowns—but builds systems, develops people, and keeps a facility running the way it should—this is the role you’ve been waiting for.

We’re working with a well-established food manufacturing company in the Western New York area looking to bring on a 2nd Shift Maintenance Supervisor. This is a highly visible leadership role where you’ll have real influence on uptime, team performance, and overall plant reliability.

• Troubleshoot mechanical and electrical issues — and fix them right the first time

• Drive preventative maintenance programs and improve overall reliability

• Manage spare parts, inventory planning, and equipment readiness

• Partner with leadership and HR on hiring, staffing, and team development• Enforce and elevate safety standards (OSHA, PSM, etc.)

• Communicate clearly across shifts to keep operations aligned

What makes someone successful here:

• You’ve led maintenance teams in a food manufacturing environment

• You’re hands-on and respected by your team — not just managing from a distance

• You understand how to balance urgency with long-term equipment reliability

• You can walk into a situation, assess it quickly, and take control

• You take pride in building strong teams and holding high standards

What you bring:

• 5–7+ years of maintenance leadership experience

• Strong mechanical and electrical troubleshooting ability

• Experience with ammonia refrigeration and regulated environments

What’s in it for you:

• 401(k) with company match

• Long-term growth and leadership development opportunities

• Stable company with a strong team culture

This role may require flexibility for off-shift support, weekends, or holidays as needed. This is a leadership position for someone who takes ownership of their operation.
