What this role is
Executive leader responsible for the enterprise-wide strategy, sourcing, and execution of maintenance and protective coatings programs across all manufacturing facilities. At the Senior Director (Executive) (E2) level, the role owns multiple functions or a major area, multi-function strategy and risk, and drives major-area outcomes. Leads function leaders.
What this level does
- Lead maintenance, reliability, and equipment-engineering across multiple manufacturing sites through site VPs/Directors, ensuring optimal equipment performance and consistent reliability standards network-wide
- Direct cross-functional decisions where maintenance strategy intersects production, capital, and safety — where a wrong asset-reliability call could impact multi-site output and business viability
- Standardize predictive maintenance and reliability-centered programs, maintenance stores control, and Autonomous Maintenance across divisions, reconciling site-specific facility and equipment constraints into one operating model
- Negotiate major maintenance service contracts, spares strategies, and capital-equipment commitments with OEM partners and top internal leaders across the division
- Own the multi-site maintenance-reporting and KPI framework, consolidating downtime, reliability, and maintenance-cost data into division-level performance targets
- Knowledge applied
- Applies cross-functional command of maintenance strategy across sites, integrating reliability engineering with production, capital, and safety to build one multi-site maintenance operating model.
- Complexity & problem solving
- Addresses abstract, high-consequence trade-offs — spares strategy, standardization vs. site autonomy, capital timing — where reliability decisions may impact multi-site output and business viability.
- Collaboration & interaction
- Negotiates major service/capital-equipment contracts and reconciles priorities with top internal leaders; leads multiple sites/divisions through VPs and Directors (E1–E2).
- Typical experience
- 15+ years, including strategic leadership of maintenance/reliability across multiple manufacturing units.
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.
