The Opportunity

The Maintenance Team Lead plays a critical role in prioritizing and delivering day-to-day KPIs within the engineering department. This position serves as the first point of contact for both the engineering manager and external stakeholders in engineering activities.

Key responsibilities include maintaining, troubleshooting, repairing, and improving equipment reliability on site.

This role operates in shifts, with a 6am-2pm schedule one week and a 2pm-10pm schedule the following week.

  • Distribute and monitor team work to achieve the delivery of a Planned Maintenance program, ensuring equipment reliability and improving asset performance.
  • Stay up-to-date with the online ticketing system, ensuring timely completion of work orders with accurate and valuable detail for asset history following functional failure.
  • Lead the department's Engineering RCA (Root Cause Analysis) to prevent issues from re-occurring.
  • Perform calibration services in accordance with work order instructions, associated procedures, and regulatory standards.
  • Ensure daily admin tasks are completed, including shift handovers and completion of the DRM board.
  • Attend packing and manufacturing tier 1 meetings and communicate actions back to engineering for implementation.
  • Support problem-solving sessions across the site from an engineering perspective and complete QMS documentation within agreed deadlines.

We're particularly interested in hearing from candidates with:

  • Experience managing a team within an engineering or manufacturing environment.
  • Background in the pharmaceutical, food, or chemical industry (desired but not required).
  • Familiarity with working on production equipment, including filling lines, conveyors, packaging lines, autoclaves, tablet presses, granulators, WFI, and heat sterilizers.
  • An electrical bias background would be ideal.
  • Previous experience in managing, coaching, and developing colleagues would be beneficial.
