Here’s a snapshot of what a typical week might look like in this role:

Diagnosing an intermittent drive fault on a laminator mid-run, coordinating a brief production pause, and resolving the issue before the next shift

Conducting a scheduled PM on a personalization machine — cleaning, inspecting wear parts, and logging findings in the CMMS

Reviewing a vendor quote for an HVAC repair, approving the scope, and coordinating site access with minimal disruption to the manufacturing floor

Walking the floor with your technician to inspect a recurring sensor issue on the die cutter, identifying the root cause, and documenting a fix to prevent recurrence

Ending the week by updating parts inventory, ordering critical spares, and preparing a brief status summary for the Plant Manager

In the first 6–12 months, a successful Maintenance Supervisor will have:

Reduced unplanned downtime by strengthening the PM program and closing gaps in the maintenance schedule

Built a strong working relationship with production, operations, and leadership — seen as a reliable partner, not just a repair resource

Established clear task prioritization and brought structure to the technician’s daily workflow

Zero serious safety incidents, with a proactive approach to hazard identification and safety compliance

Identified at least one meaningful cost-saving or efficiency improvement through data analysis or process change
