Who We Are

McMaster-Carr is an innovative e-commerce company helping customers build and repair anything because we offer everything. We've thrived for over 120 years thanks to a relentless focus on customer experience, adaptability, and world-class operations. We're opening a new regional headquarters in Fort Worth and plan for it to be the most advanced facility in our network - a modern distribution center and office where same-day shipping, speed and excellence aren't aspirations, they're the standard. Curious, exceptional people are always at the center of our evolution, turning new challenges and disruptive technologies into opportunities to learn new skills and get important work done that makes customers' lives better.

What You'll Do

McMaster-Carr’s Ft. Worth facility will operate extensive conveyor systems, an automated storage and retrieval system (ASRS), an industrial vehicle fleet, and plans to expand the use of warehouse robotics. It's a proving ground for new technology and an important step in McMaster-Carr's automation journey.

At the same time, we maintain the critical infrastructure that keeps the entire site running – electrical distribution, HVAC, fire protection, building utilities, powered industrial vehicles and data center infrastructure. The scope here is broad by design - and for the right leader, that breadth is the opportunity.

We're looking for a credible maintenance and engineering lead who's comfortable walking the floor and troubleshooting alongside technicians as well as planning staffing and project execution to achieve reliability and high-quality work.

In this role, you'll:

  • Lead day-to-day maintenance operations, including developing and training a team of maintenance experts responsible for the reliability of automated systems and critical building infrastructure
  • Execute maintenance strategy and preventive/predictive maintenance programs
  • Facilitate efforts related to uptime and reliability across conveyor systems, automated storage and retrieval, robotics, backup power, fire protection, HVAC, and building utilities
  • Partner with maintenance experts, operations and engineering on facility upgrades and other projects

Benefits

Cash Compensation

Total cash compensation generally ranges from $160,000 - $224,000 and includes profit sharing based on company performance.

Growth & Learning

  • 100% tuition reimbursement
  • Informal and formal mentorship
  • Employee resource groups

Health & Wellbeing

  • Medical, dental, pharmacy, and vision plans with no monthly premiums
  • Inclusive, all-gender benefits

Family & Future

  • Paid parental leave for all new parents
  • Adoption and surrogacy assistance
  • First-time home buyer assistance
  • Industry-leading company-funded retirement accounts

Time Off

  • Paid vacation and personal time

Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree in mechanical or electrical engineering, mechatronics or equivalent
  • 5+ years of professional experience in maintenance and engineering leadership in fast-paced industrial environments, including critical building systems and automated systems
  • Experience leading and developing a team of maintenance technicians and/or engineers
  • Experience with root-cause analysis and demonstrated skills as a credible, technical leader
  • Strong communication, prioritization and organization skills applied through effective partnership with technical experts, operations and engineering
  • Commitment to personal, professional, and team growth
