We are a specialist recruitment partner working exclusively with a well-established FMCG manufacturing site on the Central Coast. Due to a strong focus on reliability, safety, and capability uplift, we are seeking an
Electrical Reliability Supervisor
to lead a small and developing maintenance team.
This role suits a hands-on electrical leader who enjoys mentoring others, setting standards, and being actively involved in day-to-day plant reliability.
The Role
Reporting to the Site Leader, you will lead a small electrical-focused reliability team while remaining highly hands-on on the factory floor. A key part of this role is coaching and developing a relatively green team, embedding safe work practices, and lifting maintenance capability across the site.
Key responsibilities include:
* Acting as the first point of contact for electrical breakdowns and maintenance escalation
* Leading electrical fault-finding, repairs, and preventative maintenance across plant, utilities, and site services
* Coaching and developing junior and less experienced tradespeople
* Setting clear maintenance standards, processes, and expectations
* Planning and prioritising maintenance activities with the Maintenance Planner
* Driving improvements in equipment reliability, OEE, and downtime reduction
* Conducting RCAs and leading reliability improvement initiatives
* Supervising electrical contractors and managing permits and compliance
* Supporting small capital works and continuous improvement projects
* Ensuring strong compliance with HSE, GMP, HACCP, and food safety standards
This role is a key member of the site leadership team and has direct influence over reliability performance, team capability, and site culture.
About You:
You are an electrically qualified maintenance leader who enjoys developing people just as much as solving technical problems.
You will bring:
* Electrical trade qualification (essential)
* Experience in a maintenance supervisor, reliability supervisor, or senior technician role
* Strong electrical fault-finding capability in a manufacturing or FMCG environment
* Proven ability to coach, mentor, and uplift junior or developing team members
* Hands-on leadership style with strong shop-floor presence
* Solid understanding of preventative maintenance and reliability principles
* Strong safety mindset and experience working within HSE systems
* Experience working with CMMS systems and maintenance planning
* Calm, practical, and solutions-focused approach
* Dual trade (electrical/mechanical) experience is advantageous but not essential.
Why Consider This Opportunity:
* Lead and shape a small, developing maintenance team
* Hands-on electrical leadership role with real influence
* Stable FMCG operation with long-term career opportunity
* Supportive site leadership focused on safety and continuous improvement
