Overview
The Melt Shop Maintenance Supervisor will lead and coordinate all maintenance activities within the melt shop of an iron foundry. This includes overseeing preventive, corrective, and emergency maintenance of mechanical, electrical, and hydraulic systems supporting melting operations (such as induction furnaces, ladles, cranes, cooling systems, and dust collection equipment). The supervisor ensures optimal equipment reliability and uptime while enforcing safety, environmental compliance, and continuous improvement standards. Essential Duties and Responsibilities
Supervise maintenance technicians, utility maintenance, mobile, Scrap Yard, furnace production and contractors in day-to-day maintenance operations of the melt shop. Plan, schedule, and oversee preventative and predictive maintenance tasks for melt shop equipment (e.g., induction furnaces, cranes, cooling towers, hydraulic systems, bag houses). Diagnose and repair mechanical and electrical equipment failures, including hydraulic, pneumatic, drive, water circuitry, welding, and electrical systems. Ensure proper documentation of maintenance work orders, repairs, inspections, equipment histories and DEP records for Bag Houses. Lead root cause analysis (RCA) for equipment failures and develop corrective action plans. Maintain inventory of critical spare parts and consumables. Manage mobile equipment for the facility, maintaining an accurate inventory of all mobile equipment, tracking maintenance schedules and repairs, and ensuring equipment is in good working order. Enforce plant safety, environmental regulations, and procedures; ensure all work is performed in compliance with OSHA and other regulatory standards. Coordinate with production, engineering, and external vendors for equipment upgrades and capital projects. Ensure technicians are adequately trained and equipped to perform their duties safely and efficiently, and provide opportunities for professional growth.
