Job Description

gpac is working with a well-established food manufacturer that is seeking a Maintenance Manager for their facility in the Minneapolis area of Minnesota.

This company has been around for 60 plus years and what they are looking for is a hands-on leader with a background in food or meat processing to take charge of their maintenance operations — someone who can lead from the floor, build out preventative maintenance programs, and bring real structure and accountability to a solid team that needs direction.

What You’ll Do:

• Lead and manage a team of technicians – providing structure, accountability, and support
• Create and execute a preventative maintenance (PM) program
• Oversee multiple-day shutdowns, equipment repairs, and installations
• Order parts, manage inventory, and control maintenance spend
• Set the example for OSHA, food safety, and clean working standards
• Be on the floor — this is not a behind-the-desk role
• Work closely with ownership and plant leadership to drive continuous improvement
• Ensure the plant is always left in better shape than it was found

Qualifications:

• 3-5 years of experience
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills
• Able to work under pressure and meet deadlines while maintain a positive attitude
• Punctual, dependable and reliable
• Computer knowledge is preferred

What’s in it for You:

• Family-owned, stable company with 62+ years of success
• 7 consecutive years of growth with continued investment in people and infrastructure
• Ownership is ready to hand over the keys – high autonomy, low bureaucracy
• Positive, loyal team – people don’t typically leave
• Creative leadership with a focus on building for the future
• Meat credit, gas cards, purchasing allowance, and other creative perks
• Work directly with decision-makers and help shape the future of the facility

Salary range: $100k to $140k
