Overview
Maintenance Manager Food Manufacturing Location: Washington DC - Baltimore Area This is a turnaround job. Not for someone who just wants to keep things ticking. This site has the people. It has the product. What it needs now is a Maintenance Manager who knows how to lead a shift from constant fire-fighting to calm, proactive control. Right now? Too much is reactive. Equipment breaks. Teams scramble. Time gets lost. The plan? Build a function where preventive maintenance leads the way — where the majority of time, energy, and spend is planned, not panicked. The kit is high-speed, fast-moving, and constantly under pressure. But it’s the systems, not the staff, that need work. You’ll have 4–5 direct reports per shift and the support of senior leadership who want you to take charge. The goal: Turn a reactive culture into a structured, professionalised maintenance team. Raise the standards. Boost reliability. Embed safety. And leave a lasting impact on a business that’s backing change with real investment. The context: This is a well-established,
globally recognised food manufacturer
investing heavily in its US operations. You’ll report directly to the
Plant Manager , working alongside a seasoned global engineering function that’s committed to long-term transformation. The company is growing, the site is a priority, and this role is seen as a key driver of that change. And if you're ambitious? There's a clear path forward — with
genuine opportunities to move into plant leadership or multi-site roles
as the US footprint expands. You’ll need to be comfortable challenging the norm, bringing clarity, and getting stuck in — because this won’t change on its own. What you’ll bring: Maintenance leadership in a food/FMCG or high-speed packaging environment A proven track record of taking sites from reactive to planned Strong technical grounding (electrical or mechanical) The drive to coach, build culture, and improve standards — fast Seniority level
