What this role is
The most senior executive accountable for the enterprise-wide maintenance, materials sourcing, and protective coatings strategy across all business units and regions. At the Senior Vice President (E4) level, the role owns multiple divisions, enterprise strategy and external stakeholders, and drives cross-division / enterprise. Leads division leaders.
What this level does
- Oversee the full manufacturing-operations portfolio in which maintenance/reliability sits — integrating asset reliability strategy with production, capital deployment, facilities, and safety across multiple strategic areas with high autonomy
- Participate in enterprise strategic development, positioning equipment reliability and asset uptime as drivers of corporate operating performance and long-term capacity planning
- Engage the board, CEO, and industry leaders regularly on major capital-asset investment, plant modernization, and enterprise reliability-risk exposure
- Drive cross-business standardization of maintenance operating models, digital monitoring platforms (SCADA, PLC, DDC), and reliability governance across the corporation's manufacturing footprint
- Sponsor enterprise reliability and Lean transformation programs, allocating capital and talent across regions to raise asset availability as a corporate operating priority
- Knowledge applied
- Participates in enterprise strategic development, integrating asset reliability across the broader manufacturing-operations portfolio (production, capital, facilities, safety, digital platforms) with high autonomy.
- Complexity & problem solving
- Solves corporate-impact problems spanning multiple strategic areas — plant modernization, network capacity, enterprise reliability-risk exposure — where decisions shape corporate operating performance.
- Collaboration & interaction
- Regularly engages the board, CEO, and industry leaders on major capital-asset and modernization decisions; broad cross-business/functional reach.
- Typical experience
- 20+ years of extensive corporate operations strategy and executive leadership experience.
Skills at this level
- Equipment maintenance
- — Directs preventive/routine and corrective maintenance of production equipment — conveyors, hydraulic lifts, HVAC, electrical and plumbing systems — to keep small technical faults from escalating into line-stopping failures.
- Predictive maintenance techniques
- — Deploys vibration analysis, infrared thermography, ultrasonic testing, and oil analysis to detect impending equipment failure and convert reactive downtime into scheduled intervention across the asset base.
- Reliability-centered maintenance
- — Establishes standardized maintenance programs, maintenance stores control, and Autonomous Maintenance so equipment reliability is engineered and governed rather than restored after breakdown.
- Lean manufacturing
- — Applies continuous-improvement techniques to maintenance and reliability work, removing waste from maintenance cycles and driving asset availability against uptime and cost targets.
- Process improvement
- — Redesigns maintenance and reliability workflows — from work-order flow to shift handoff and stores replenishment — to raise equipment performance and lower total maintenance cost.
- Capital project execution
- — Supports and prioritizes capital projects for plant equipment and facility modernization, weighing reliability gains, total cost of ownership, and production continuity in investment decisions.
- SCADA and PLC monitoring
- — Governs supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) and programmable logic controller (PLC) systems as the enterprise instrumentation layer for monitoring equipment condition and triggering reliability action.
- Maintenance-management systems (SAP/ERP)
- — Uses SAP/ERP work-order, asset, and stores data to consolidate downtime, reliability, and maintenance-cost metrics into division- and enterprise-level performance reporting.
- Energy management (DDC)
- — Applies digital direct-control (DDC) energy-management systems to facility maintenance so building and utility systems are run for reliability and energy efficiency across sites.
- Maintenance reporting and KPI governance
- — Consolidates routine maintenance reports and safety-check records into a KPI framework that tracks downtime, reliability, and cost as executive operating targets.
- Team leadership under pressure
- — Leads, guides, and inspires maintenance and reliability teams through equipment obstacles and high-pressure downtime situations, mentoring engineers and setting technical standards.
