Maintenance Supervisor (Mechanical)
Georgia-Pacific LLC, Toledo, OR, United States
Your Job
Georgia-Pacific is seeking a Mechanical Maintenance Supervisor to lead safe, reliable, and efficient mechanical maintenance execution at our Toledo, Oregon containerboard mill. This role partners closely with Operations, Reliability, Planning/Scheduling, and Engineering to execute the maintenance work management process and improve equipment uptime through strong field leadership, precision maintenance, and capability development. This position reports to the Maintenance Superintendent.
Our Team
Georgia-Pacific’s Toledo, OR site manufactures linerboard and corrugated medium on three paper machines, using virgin and recycled fiber. The mill employs approximately 400 people and focuses on safe, sustainable, reliable operations.
What You Will Do
Lead Safe Mechanical Work Execution
Provide visible field leadership to ensure mechanical work is performed safely and in compliance with site requirements (e.g., LOTO, line breaking, confined space, hot work, rigging/lifting, mobile equipment, contractor controls).
Identify and mitigate high and critical risks; verify hazards and controls before work begins and throughout the job.
Reinforce environmental expectations tied to mechanical work (spill prevention, waste handling, housekeeping, guarding).
Own Daily Mechanical Work Management (Plan → Schedule → Execute → Close)
Execute the weekly schedule by translating it into daily priorities with Operations; coordinate equipment access and downtime windows.
Confirm job readiness: scope clarity, permits, isolation plans, parts/tools availability, craft assignments, and quality expectations.
Drive strong closeout discipline in the CMMS: accurate labor entry, failure/problem codes, as-found/as-left notes, and follow-up work identification.
Improve Reliability Through Precision Maintenance
Coach and verify mechanical precision practices including:
Shaft alignment (laser alignment standards where applicable)
Balance and vibration-sensitive installation practices
Lubrication excellence (contamination control, correct lubricant use, storage/handling)
Fastener/torque practices, pipe strain control, soft foot elimination
Proper installation of bearings, seals, couplings, and rotating equipment foundations
Partner with Reliability/Engineering to eliminate repeat failures using defect elimination and root cause thinking.
Lead and Develop Mechanical Craftspeople
Set clear expectations and hold the mechanical team accountable for safety, quality, productivity, and professionalism.
Execute performance development: role clarity, coaching, feedback, training plans, and recognition.
Build capability across core mechanical skills (rotating equipment, hydraulics/pneumatics, conveyors, valves, pumps, gearboxes, mechanical drives, rigging).
Support Outages and Major Mechanical Repairs
Participate in outage scope readiness reviews; ensure mechanical work packs are executable (sequence, parts, tools, rigging plans, QA checks).
Coordinate contractor mechanical work as needed—scope definition, job walkdowns, safety alignment, oversight, and acceptance/turnover.
Strengthen Mechanical PM/PdM Follow-Through
Ensure PM completion and quality (routes, standards, feedback loops).
Convert PdM findings (vibration, ultrasound, oil analysis, thermography findings as applicable) into planned corrective work with the right priority and timing by working with the Mill Reliability Team.
What Success Looks Like (First 6–12 Months)
Reduced mechanical emergency work through improved job readiness, PM follow-through, and defect elimination.
Improved schedule attainment and fewer delays caused by missing parts, unclear scope, or access issues.
Increased consistency in precision installation practices and reduced rework/repeat failures on rotating equipment.
Improved engagement and accountability within the mechanical crew through consistent coaching and clear expectations.
Key Measures (Typical Mechanical Supervisor Scorecard)
Safety & Compliance: high-risk hazard closures, safe work observations, corrective action closure rate
Execution: weekly schedule attainment, work order completion, rework %, job readiness % (planned/kit/permits ready)
Reliability: repeat failure rate, downtime hours attributable to mechanical failures, defect elimination closures
Maintenance System Health: PM completion %, backlog age/health, CMMS closeout quality (failure codes
otes)
Cost Control: overtime effectiveness, contractor utilization, material waste/rework spend
Who You Are (Basic Qualifications)
Experience working in a manufacturing, industrial, or military environment.
Experience supervising or leading teams in an industrial setting.
Knowledge of reliability concepts and application of precision maintenance methods to improve equipment performance.
What Will Put You Ahead
Bachelor’s degree or equivalent demonstrated capability.
Experience using a CMMS (Passport/Asset Suite preferred or similar).
Experience in pulp & paper or heavy industrial manufacturing.
Demonstrated mechanical troubleshooting experience and training.
Hands‑on experience with industrial mechanical systems such as pumps, gearboxes, mechanical drives, hydraulics, conveyors, bearings/seals, and rotating equipment rebuild/installation.
Our Benefits
Medical, dental, vision, flexible spending and health savings accounts, life insurance, ADD, disability, retirement, paid vacation/time off, educational assistance, infertility assistance, paid parental leave and adoption assistance (eligibility varies by location).
Additional resources to support physical, financial, and emotional wellbeing.
Equal Opportunities
Equal Opportunity Employer, including disability and protected veteran status. Except where prohibited by state law, some offers of employment are conditioned upon successfully passing a drug test. This employer uses E-Verify.
