Recruit a Maintenance Manager

The maintenance manager determines how much production can actually deliver. We'll help you find someone who can shift the focus from reactive to preventive maintenance.

We specialize in recruiting maintenance managers!

Most maintenance organizations know what they should be doing—yet they still end up doing mostly emergency maintenance, because there’s always a fire somewhere. Breaking that pattern requires a manager who understands both the technology and change management, and who has the stamina to stick to the plan even when production wants everything fixed right away.

We are looking for candidates who have gone through that very process and who can demonstrate the benefits it provided in terms of accessibility and cost.

Frequently Asked Questions About Hiring a Maintenance Manager

What kind of background does a good maintenance manager have?

Most come from backgrounds as maintenance engineers, maintenance supervisors, or production engineers. The most important factor is the combination of technical credibility in the workshop and the ability to manage key performance indicators such as availability, MTBF, and the percentage of planned maintenance.
How much does experience with our maintenance system matter?

Experience with systems such as Maximo, Idus, API Pro, or SAP PM is a plus but can be learned. We place greater emphasis on the candidate’s approach to work: how they have implemented preventive maintenance, spare parts management, and rounds in practice.
Can you help us if we want to shift from reactive to preventive maintenance?

Yes, and that makes change management a key part of the job requirements. We are specifically looking for candidates who have gone through this transition before and can describe both the outcome and the resistance they encountered.
How soon can we see the candidates?

We typically present an initial selection of candidates who have been screened, interviewed, and had their backgrounds checked within approximately 2.5 weeks of the requirements profile being approved.
