Job Description

Shape the reliability backbone of our distribution operations

Join Ashley Furniture’s Distribution Maintenance organization and accelerate your career in an environment that champions innovation, automation, and craftsmanship. You’ll lead a high-performing maintenance function inside state-of-the-art facilities for the world’s largest home furnishings manufacturer.

A day in the life

You start your morning reviewing overnight CMMS data, prioritizing critical work orders, and aligning your supervisors across multiple shifts. On the floor, you coach technicians through complex mechanical, electrical, and hydraulic diagnostics. By midday, you’re collaborating with Manufacturing Engineering and Distribution partners to get to root causes, optimize uptime on material handling equipment, and refine standard work. In the afternoon, you tune preventive and predictive maintenance plans, reconcile spare parts inventory, and confer with vendors to keep cost and lead times in check. Safety, compliance, and continuous improvement are the thread through it all.

What you’ll own

• Lead, mentor, and grow maintenance supervisors and technicians.
• Plan and coordinate daily work to minimize downtime and maximize throughput.
• Troubleshoot, repair, and optimize equipment in partnership with Manufacturing Engineering and Distribution teams.
• Design and run preventive and predictive maintenance programs.
• Manage budgets, spare parts strategies, and vendor performance.
• Ensure strict adherence to safety regulations and company standards.
• Champion continuous improvement and lean principles across the operation.
