Role summary
McMaster-Carr is seeking a Maintenance and Engineering Supervisor to lead automation, mechatronics, and critical building systems at their large Chicagoland facility. This role involves hands-on troubleshooting, planning, and executing maintenance strategies to ensure the reliability of complex automated systems (ASRS, robotics, conveyors) and essential building infrastructure (electrical, HVAC, fire protection, data centers). The supervisor will lead and develop a team of maintenance technicians and engineers, focusing on uptime, preventive/predictive maintenance, and root-cause analysis. The position requires a Bachelor's degree in a relevant engineering field or equivalent experience, with a minimum of 5 years in maintenance and engineering leadership within fast-paced industrial environments. The role offers a competitive salary range of $166,000 - $236,000, profit sharing, and comprehensive benefits.
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. Our national headquarters in the Chicagoland area is the largest and most operationally complex facility in our network - a modern distribution center, office, and data center campus 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 Chicagoland facility operates 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 our proving ground for new technology- and the only facility in our network with this level of automation complexity today.
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.
