Volumetric Building Companies

***Who are we?***

**Volumetric Building Companies** (**VBC**) is a vertically integrated global volumetric construction leader, headquartered in Philadelphia, PA. with locations across the United States and in Europe in the UK, Poland and Serbia.

Utilizing our technology-enabled design and engineering model, precision-driven manufacturing capabilities, and project-proven modular construction expertise, the company’s focus is on providing high quality, sustainably produced buildings in less time across varied market sectors including housing and hospitality.

As we grow, we are continually and very selectively adding top talent to our team. Our engaging culture is one that promotes teamwork, innovation, continuous learning, open and candid communications, and respect and support for one another, and for the communities in which we operate.

If you think you are one of the best at what you do and want to join us on our journey to ***build the future and improve lives***, then we’d love to hear from you!

***About the role***

We are seeking an experienced, hands-on Maintenance Team Lead to lead a team of maintenance technicians on the floor of our fast-paced, manufacturing-based modular construction facility. This individual will direct the team's daily work, take on the toughest equipment repairs, and keep production equipment and facility systems running safely and reliably.

The ideal candidate is a strong maintenance technician who is ready to lead. You bring solid troubleshooting skills across mechanical, electrical, pneumatic, hydraulic, and controls systems, and you can organize the team's work, train other technicians, and work closely with production to keep the plant on schedule. You will report to the Maintenance Supervisor and act as the point of contact for maintenance on your shift.

Unlike traditional jobsite construction, our manufacturing environment depends on reliable equipment and well-maintained facilities to build with consistency, precision, and efficiency. The Maintenance Team Lead will play a key role in reducing unplanned downtime, completing preventive maintenance on time, and building the skills of the maintenance team as VBC's production volume and automation grow.

VBC builds volumetric modular buildings: complete, finished modules built on an assembly line in our factory, then shipped and set on site to form apartments, hotels, and other buildings. When a station or crane goes down, modules stop moving down the line, which puts project schedules and site set dates at risk. The Maintenance Team Lead keeps the line moving so modules ship complete and on time.

***About you***

You're a skilled maintenance technician who other people already come to for help. You lead by example, troubleshoot with confidence, and take pride in fixing problems the right way the first time. You communicate clearly with your team, production supervisors, and maintenance leadership, and you thrive in a hands-on environment where safety, teamwork, accountability, and continuous improvement are essential to success.

**Key Responsibilities**

**Maintenance Operations & Shift Leadership**

• Lead the daily work of the maintenance technicians on your shift, assigning work orders based on safety, production impact, and equipment priorities set by the Maintenance Supervisor.
• Work hands-on alongside the team, troubleshooting and repairing mechanical, electrical, pneumatic, hydraulic, and control systems.
• Serve as the first point of escalation on your shift for equipment breakdowns, and escalate major issues to the Maintenance Supervisor.
• Maintain and repair production equipment, including saws, CNC and automated framing equipment, pneumatic tools, overhead cranes and hoists, forklifts and material handling equipment, air compressors, and dust collection systems.
• Support the equipment that moves modules down the line, including floor, wall, and ceiling panel lines, module transfer and moving systems, gantry and bridge cranes used to lift modules, and finishing stations.
• Support the upkeep of facility systems, including HVAC, electrical distribution, lighting, plumbing, and the building envelope.
• Communicate with production supervisors on equipment status, repair timing, and planned downtime to minimize disruption to production.
• Coordinate and escort outside contractors on site, and make sure they follow site safety requirements.
• Provide a clear shift handoff on open work orders, equipment issues, and safety concerns.
• Take part in the on-call rotation and respond to after-hours and weekend emergencies as needed.

**Preventive Maintenance & Equipment Reliability**

• Make sure the team completes preventive maintenance (PM) tasks on schedule and to standard.
• Enter and close work orders in the computerized maintenance management system (CMMS), recording repairs, parts used, and time spent.
• Track recurring breakdowns and help lead roo
