Electrical Maintenance Team Lead

6 hours ago


New Zealand Technical Recruitment Solutions Full time

**Benefits**
- Healthy Base Salary + 15% bonus + 3% Kiwisaver.
- Bonus Note: The bonus is based on the performance of the plant, it is a reasonable expectation to receive 15% of your salary on most years. In fact, this bonus can also pay out at more than 100%, e.g., last year it was double this AND I am told the future forecast is again looking good for next year too. So, this is quite a valuable bonus system.

**The Company**
You will be joining a multinational heavy industrial manufacturing company running an established, stable, and successful operation in South Auckland with global product reach.

People within the company are valued and developed and with the size of this company there are likely to be career progression possibilities here too.

**The Role**
If you are an equipment buff, and someone who likes large heavy equipment, for example 8 MW motors read on. The plant is large and is of sufficient size and scale to have voltages from 11kV and down feeding it.
We need someone who has technical experience and credibility with electrical & instrumentation to lead a maintenance focused team. Think 80% Maintenance, 20% Projects.

**Your Key Functions**: The primary focus of the role is to lead and organise the work for the Maintenance Team. So, you will be someone who can identify, plan, direct, and project manage what the team needs to do.

You will also carry out Failure Investigations and come up with Reliability/Continuous Improvement strategies to implement.

You will be someone with mature and diplomatic leadership/influencing skills so that you can get the team on board and working together on the strategic maintenance goals and direction that is set.

You will need to have forward work planning abilities, e.g., forecast/planning the next two weeks of work and assigning daily priorities too e.g., making sure the team focus on the right things, have the right equipment, and skillset to do the work. You will understand what needs to be done with maintenance to increase reliability and minimise downtime.

As a given you will ensure Health and Safety is always a top priority.

Your Team
You will have 9 people in your team who are electrical and instrumentation trade staff and specialised technicians, plus an Electrical Planner all to yourself, luxury

When work levels swell you could be overseeing a team of 15 when including contractors.

I am told this is a good practical team, who are agile and flexible, and with some real technical specialists here too.

In addition to your immediate team, you will liaise and organise work with other teams within the plant and external contractors for specific work.

On the mechanical front you will work in with a Mechanical Maintenance Team Lead with their own team too.

**To be successful in the role you will likely have a healthy dose of the following attributes**:

- An Electrical Diploma, Engineering Degree, or relevant trade and on the job experience
- Significant Electrical & Instrumentation Maintenance experience in a similar plant environment
- Can work with a variety of electrical stakeholders, internal and external
- Excellent verbal and written communications skills

**And have ability and experience with**:

- Supervision and leadership
- Training, development, and performance management
- Project Management
- Optimising and streamlining processes
- Managing multiple priorities in an organised manner
- Familiarity with reliability centred maintenance and continuous improvement principles
- Competent in CMMS and computer systems (e.g. SAP, MS Office, Drawings)

This is a stable senior level role in a large manufacturing company and a good mix of organising technical maintenance work and managing and leading a team.

With a few people at the next levels up from this role edging closer to retirement in the next few years there are further internal career steps to be made here too.

You will be rewarded with a high base salary, high company performance bonus scheme, and regular Kiwisaver.

This is a 40-hour week role with flexi hours and overtime is recognised and compensated for with time in lieu.

Relevant professional development is given to staff too. What more do you want in a role like this?
