The role

Why hiring an engineering or maintenance manager calls for a dedicated process

One hour of downtime can cost an entire day's profit. The maintenance and engineering manager is responsible for equipment availability, the maintenance plan, improvement projects and the safety of interventions.

In seasonal operations, such as agroindustry and bioenergy, maintenance must also be planned around the off-season. We search for professionals with experience in reliability, shutdown management and capital projects.

What we assess in a maintenance manager

  • Preventive and predictive maintenance and reliability
  • Shutdown management and off-season planning
  • Capital projects and expansion
  • Safety during interventions
  • Technical leadership and contractor management
