Maintenance & Reliability Manager (Heavy Manufacturing | RCM, FMEA, Predictive Maintenance) – Davenport, IA (Onsite)

Location: Davenport, IA (Relocation Available)
Compensation: $120K–$160K base + bonus + full benefits
Industry: Advanced Manufacturing / Metals / Industrial Operations

Step Into a Flagship Operation. Lead Reliability at Scale.

Northwest Talent Solutions is partnering confidentially with a market-leading industrial manufacturer operating one of the largest and most complex production facilities in the United States.

This is a high-visibility leadership role reporting directly into senior manufacturing leadership—designed for a leader who doesn't just manage maintenance but transforms reliability culture, asset performance, and operational outcomes.

If you've built reliability programs, driven measurable uptime improvements, and thrive in complex, high-throughput environments—this is your platform.

What You'll Own:

You will lead the shift from reactive maintenance to a fully embedded reliability-centered model, including:

• Building and scaling Reliability-Centered Maintenance (RCM) frameworks
• Leading FMEA, RCA, and asset criticality analysis across large-scale operations
• Driving predictive & condition-based maintenance strategies
• Owning KPIs such as MTBF, MTTR, uptime, and PM compliance
• Identifying and eliminating chronic equipment failures
• Optimizing asset lifecycle cost and performance
• Partnering with plant leadership to drive continuous improvement at scale
• Embedding a data-driven reliability culture across the organization

What Makes You a Strong Fit:

• 10+ years in manufacturing environments (heavy industrial preferred)
• 5+ years in maintenance/reliability leadership
• Deep expertise in:
  • RCM / FMEA / RCA
  • Predictive & preventive maintenance
  • CMMS systems and data-driven maintenance strategies
• Proven success improving equipment uptime, reliability, and operational efficiency
• Strong ability to influence across shop floor, engineering, and executive leadership

Why This Role Stands Out:

• Flagship facility exposure with enterprise-level impact
• Direct visibility to VP-level leadership
• Opportunity to build and scale reliability systems, not just maintain them
• Significant investment in operations, technology, and continuous improvement
• Relocation support + strong compensation + bonus structure
