Maintenance Supervisor

My client is looking for an experienced and hands-on Maintenance Supervisor to lead factory maintenance operations in Port Elzabeth.
This person will be responsible for ensuring optimal equipment reliability, minimal downtime, and safe, efficient plant operations in support of production targets and quality standards
If you are technically strong, action-oriented, and confident leading artisans and technicians in a high-performance manufacturing environment, this role will put you right in the driver's seat.
Key Responsibilities:

• Lead and coordinate reactive, preventative and predictive maintenance across plant, infrastructure and equipment.
• Minimise downtime through effective first-line maintenance planning and execution.
• Raise and approve job cards; ensure correct escalation of work permits (hot work, vessel entry, elevated work).
• Drive root cause analysis (5 WHY, 8D, etc.) and implement corrective actions to prevent repeat failures.
