About Us
We are a well-established plastic card manufacturer producing secure cards for financial, commercial, and government applications. Our products demand precision at every stage — from lamination and printing to chip embedding — and our production teams take pride in keeping things running reliably. We’re looking for a hands-on Maintenance Supervisor to lead and strengthen our maintenance function on-site.
Position Overview
This is a working lead role — ideal for a senior technician who is ready to step into leadership without leaving the shop floor behind. You will perform day-to-day maintenance while supervising and mentoring one electromechanical technician. Together, you will keep our production equipment running at peak performance, drive a culture of preventive maintenance, and own the general upkeep of our facility.

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
