Supervisor - Electrical

Stillwater Mine - Nye, MT

7X7 Dayshift

At Sibanye-Stillwater, the Supervisor - Stationary Maintenance provides frontline leadership for the safe, reliable, and cost-effective execution of stationary mechanical maintenance for associated fixed-plant systems. The Supervisor converts the approved weekly schedule and resource-ready work prepared by the Planner - Stationary Maintenance & Electrical into daily shift execution by validating field readiness, directing stationary-maintenance crews, controlling risk and quality, coordinating equipment access and outages with Operations and Electrical, and returning accurate completion, condition, and variance information. The Planner owns detailed planning and integrated scheduling across stationary and electrical work; this Supervisor owns safe field execution and supervision of stationary-maintenance work only, within priorities and direction established by the General Foreman - Stationary & Electrical Maintenance.

• Ensure completed work orders accurately document work performed, labor hours, materials used, equipment condition, failure information, additional work identified, and reasons for variance before closure or return to the Planner.
• Ensure follow-up work requests are submitted for defects, deferred repairs, additional scope, or emerging conditions identified during execution, with sufficient information for planning.
• Maintain proper staffing levels to support plan compliance by managing leave requests and communicating anticipated shortages and overtime requirements to the General Foreman and workforce-planning function.
