Director of Maintenance & Reliability - Processing Center

Aurora, CO
Full Time
Operations
Senior Manager/Supervisor
Role Purpose
The Director of Maintenance & Reliability is the enterprise owner of equipment uptime, process stability, and reliability-driven performance across all BYLDPro processing facilities.

This role ensures that machines, systems, and processes operate predictably, safely, and at designed capacity, enabling BYLDPro to meet production commitments while scaling efficiently from Small to Large facilities.

The role integrates Maintenance Strategy, Reliability Engineering, Continuous Improvement, and Quality Systems governance, recognizing that quality outcomes at BYLDPro are primarily driven by equipment stability and process capability.

Core Responsibilities
1. Enterprise Maintenance & Reliability Strategy
  • Define and own BYLDPro’s maintenance philosophy (preventive, predictive, condition-based)
  • Establish standard PM programs for all machine types
  • Define uptime, MTBF, MTTR, and reliability KPIs
  • Ensure consistent maintenance execution across all facilities

2. Equipment Uptime & Downtime Reduction
  • Own root cause analysis for major downtime events
  • Drive permanent corrective actions (not temporary fixes)
  • Partner with Production Engineering and OT to eliminate recurring failures
  • Ensure reliability is designed into new equipment and layouts

3. Preventive & Predictive Maintenance
  • Implement predictive maintenance where economically justified
  • Standardize spare parts strategies and critical spares lists
  • Reduce reactive maintenance through data-driven insights
  • Support lifecycle planning for high-capex equipment

4. Reliability-Driven Continuous Improvement
  • Lead CI initiatives tied to:
    • OEE improvement
    • Scrap and rework reduction
    • Setup stability
  • Apply Lean / Six Sigma tools where appropriate
  • Ensure CI efforts are measurable and sustained

5. Quality Systems Governance (Process-Focused)
  • Own enterprise quality systems, including:
    • Non-conformance reporting (NCR)
    • Root cause and corrective action (CAPA)
    • Process audits
  • Ensure quality standards are enforced without compromising uptime
  • Maintain enterprise-level quality visibility and trend analysis
Note: This role owns quality systems and process quality, not day-to-day inspection staffing.

6. Facility Launch & Expansion Support
  • Support new facility openings (e.g., Ohio) by:
    • Defining maintenance staffing models
    • Establishing PM readiness before go-live
    • Training maintenance leadership
  • Ensure reliability standards are embedded from Day 1

7. Cross-Functional Collaboration
  • Work closely with:
    • Processing Engineering (layouts, equipment selection)
    • Production Planning (capacity realism)
    • OT & Manufacturing Systems (machine data, diagnostics)
    • Plant Managers (execution and accountability)
  • Serve as escalation point for systemic reliability issues

8. Team Leadership & Development
  • Lead and develop enterprise maintenance and reliability resources
  • Coach Plant-level Maintenance Managers and Supervisors
  • Establish training standards and technical capability expectations
  • Build bench strength to support growth

What This Role Does Not Own
  • Daily shift-level maintenance dispatching
  • Local labor scheduling
  • Purchasing execution (input only)
  • IT infrastructure ownership
This role sets the system and standards; plants execute.

Key Success Metrics
  • Equipment uptime and availability
  • OEE improvement vs baseline
  • Reduction in unplanned downtime
  • Preventive vs reactive maintenance ratio
  • Scrap and rework trends linked to equipment stability
  • Readiness and stability of new facility launches

Required Qualifications
  • Bachelor’s degree in Engineering or related technical field (Mechanical, Electrical, Industrial preferred)
  • 10+ years experience in manufacturing, processing, or industrial operations
  • 5+ years in a senior maintenance, reliability, or engineering leadership role
  • Strong experience with:
    • Preventive & predictive maintenance systems
    • Root cause analysis
    • Industrial equipment reliability
  • Proven ability to scale systems across multiple facilities

Preferred Qualifications
  • Six Sigma Black Belt or equivalent CI certification
  • Experience with automated or semi-automated production lines
  • Exposure to ERP / MES / OEE systems
  • Experience supporting greenfield facility launches
  • Strong business acumen and KPI-driven mindset

Leadership Expectations (BYLDPro Standard)
  • Operates with enterprise-first thinking
  • Data-driven, pragmatic, and action-oriented
  • Comfortable balancing uptime pressure with quality discipline
  • Builds systems that scale, not heroics
  • Acts as a partner to Operations, not a gatekeeper

Career Path & Growth
This role is a key pillar of the BYLDPro operating model and a natural feeder into:
  • Senior Operations leadership
  • VP-level reliability or platform roles
  • Broader manufacturing systems leadership as BYLD scales
