What are the responsibilities and job description for the Maintenance Manager position at Veteran Hiring Solutions?
We are looking for a Maintenance Manager for an onsite opportunity in Thornton, CO . Ability to work the scheduled day shift M-F (8 am -5 pm) and manage both the 1st and 2nd shift technicians.
We don’t just make high-performance sealants and coatings—we’re dedicated to craftsmanship, quality, and innovation. Keeping our production moving is mission-critical, and you are the key to making that happen.
Right now, our maintenance team is mostly reactive , responding to breakdowns as they happen. We need someone who can shift us toward a proactive, preventive maintenance program —reducing downtime, improving efficiency, and setting up long-term success.
If you’re a hands-on leader who thrives in mechanical troubleshooting, preventive maintenance, and mentoring a team, you’ll love the challenge and opportunity here.

Leading the Maintenance Team

- Take us from a reactive to a proactive maintenance mindset.
- Implement Limble CMMS to schedule preventive maintenance and track issues before they become major problems.

- Experienced Maintenance Supervisor or Lead Tech —especially with mechanical systems, troubleshooting, and team leadership.

- Hands-on problem solver —comfortable jumping in and getting your hands dirty when needed.
