About the role: The Maintenance Supervisor is a working supervisor and will spend most of the day hands-on – troubleshooting, repairing, and maintaining production equipment and critical utilities in our GMP-regulated manufacturing facility – while setting the pace and standard for the maintenance technicians and mechanics in the team. This is not a desk role. This individual will be the first person on the problem when a line goes down or when a boiler, chiller, or RO system acts up. The Maintenance Supervisor will keep preventive maintenance on schedule, keep work orders and records accurate, and keep every system running safely and in compliance with GMP and FDA standards. This role is fully on-site in our new Mesa, AZ facility.

• Support equipment installation, commissioning, and validation (IQ/OQ/PQ) for capital projects, including hands-on installation work.

Working Crew Lead

• Lead a small team of maintenance technicians and mechanics by working alongside them and setting the standard.
