WHAT YOU'LL DO
HOW THIS ROLE WORKS WITH THE CENTRAL MAINTENANCE TEAMAnduril is building a central maintenance function and Center of Excellence that defines the standards, policies,and best practices every site runs on. This role is the primary Arsenal-1 counterpart to that team.
- Set the maintenance strategy and build the organization from scratch — define the operating model, orgstructure, shift coverage, budget, and multi-year staffing plan for Arsenal-1 Building 1, and grow it asproduction ramps across two shifts.
- Build and lead a multi-layer team — hire and develop maintenance managers and supervisors beneath you,along with skilled-trades technicians (electrical/controls, mechanical/millwright, and facilities) andplanners/schedulers spanning administrative, tactical, and strategic roles.
- Stand up the preventive and predictive maintenance program — develop PM schedules, job plans, andreliability strategies for a mixed environment of manual and automated assembly, machining andfabrication, and building/facility systems.
- Own the spare parts and MRO strategy and budget — define critical spares for the program plan of record,set stocking levels and reorder points, establish the storeroom, own the maintenance operating and capitalbudget, and build OEM and supplier relationships to protect uptime.
- Deploy maintenance systems and data — implement and administer the CMMS for work ordermanagement, asset tracking, PM compliance, and KPI reporting, configured to the enterprise standard.
- Support new equipment and automation launches — partner with controls engineering, automation, andfacilities on equipment installation, commissioning, spare-parts provisioning, and maintainability from dayone.
- Own tooling, calibration, and documentation — establish calibration schedules, asset registers, equipmentmanuals, and maintenance records for the site.
- Drive reliability and continuous improvement — track and improve uptime, MTBF/MTTR, PM compliance,and cost, and lead root-cause analysis on chronic and high-impact failures.
- Roll up your sleeves — work shoulder-to-shoulder with manufacturing on the floor, and get hands-on whenit counts, especially in the early stand-up phase.
- Governance and standards: you adopt and localize the enterprise operating model — CMMS configurationand naming conventions, PM and calibration standards, KPI definitions, safety and LOTO procedures, andreliability best practices — so Arsenal-1 stays consistent with the broader network.
- Site autonomy: you own the day-to-day execution and site-level decisions — shift coverage, trade mix,hiring, local vendor and OEM relationships, and priority calls on the floor.
- Two-way flow: you contribute Arsenal-1 lessons learned back to the Center of Excellence, and you have adotted-line relationship to the central maintenance leader for standardization, mentorship, and network-wide alignment while reporting solid-line to Manufacturing Operations at the site.
