Job Description
Ready to drive meaningful uptime improvements in a rapidly growing artisan bakery? Pave Talent is partnering with an established mid-size food manufacturer in Frederick, MD to find an Equipment Reliability Specialist who will play a pivotal role in transforming reactive maintenance into a structured reliability-centered program.
Our client is a thriving industrial bakery with four production lines and aggressive expansion plans-four additional lines coming online by 2028. This isn't just a job; it's an opportunity to build something lasting while the company scales. You'll own the reliability strategy for two automated production lines, working directly with the Director of Engineering & Maintenance to stabilize equipment performance and reduce downtime on critical assets.
What You'll Accomplish
As Equipment Reliability Specialist, you'll tackle real-world challenges that directly impact production output and profitability:
Lead root cause failure analysis on equipment failures-from conveyors to mixers to ovens-identifying systemic issues and implementing permanent solutions rather than quick fixes
Optimize preventive maintenance programs by conducting FMEA assessments, comparing current PM schedules against failure data, and building a maintenance strategy that actually prevents breakdowns
Collaborate with the maintenance planner to restructure the CMMS hierarchy, ensuring accurate equipment documentation and enabling data-driven maintenance decisions
Partner with OEMs to retrofit problematic equipment, evaluate new technology solutions, and drive continuous improvement projects like converting friction-drive conveyors to direct-drive systems
Mentor maintenance technicians during critical shutdown periods, building their troubleshooting capabilities and fostering a culture of proactive maintenance
Drive uptime improvements by systematically addressing the root causes of chronic downtime events-your success will be measured by how consistently your lines run without interruption
Your Background
Required:
5+ years of hands-on experience in industrial maintenance or reliability engineering within manufacturing environments
Proven ability to troubleshoot mechanical, electrical, pneumatic, or hydraulic systems in production settings
Experience conducting root cause analysis and implementing corrective actions that stick
Comfort working with CMMS systems to document maintenance activities and analyze failure patterns
Strong problem-solving mindset with the ability to work independently and as part of a collaborative team
Preferred:
Food or beverage manufacturing experience (GMP, SQF, HACCP familiarity is a plus)
FMEA methodology experience and preventive maintenance program development
CMRP (Certified Maintenance & Reliability Professional) or CRL (Certified Reliability Leader) certifications
Familiarity with Upkeep, Maximo, or similar CMMS platforms
Technical degree in engineering, industrial maintenance, or related field (though equivalent hands-on experience is equally valued)
Why This Role Stands Out
Career Growth in a Scaling Organization: With four new production lines planned by 2028, there's a clear path for advancement as the reliability team expands from two to four engineers. You'll have the opportunity to shape the reliability program from the ground up.
Meaningful Impact: Your work directly translates to reduced downtime, improved production efficiency, and better quality of life for the maintenance team. When equipment runs smoothly, everyone wins.
Predictable Schedule with Flexibility: Monday-Friday salaried position with core involvement during Wednesday/Thursday maintenance shutdowns (6 AM-4 PM those days). Typical work weeks are 45 hours with flexibility on non-shutdown days.
Optional High-Paying On-Call System: For those interested in additional income, there's a well-compensated on-call program ($400 for 1-4 hours, $1,000 for 4-8 hours) for experienced troubleshooters who can resolve complex issues during off-hours.
Comprehensive Benefits: Competitive base salary + 10% annual performance bonus, health and dental benefits starting after 30 days, 401(k) matching, paid time off, and a collaborative team environment where your expertise is valued.
