The hiring decision
What matters for this job
Your Maintenance Manager hire has to handle maintenance crews and equipment care within the constraints of APQP, PPAP and OEM containment. In Automotive (OEM, Tier 1, Tier 2), we ask which decisions about maintenance crews and equipment care the person made themselves, and how the plant's process affected them. General manufacturing experience does not automatically establish readiness for maintenance crews and equipment care in automotive production.
Write down who is accountable for maintenance crews and equipment care in automotive production today. That explanation helps separate their capability from a team's success at maintenance crews and equipment care in automotive production.
A clear explanation exposes how maintenance crews and equipment care changes under automotive process requirements much better than asking whether the candidate has held the title before.
Before an introduction
What we discuss with candidates
We talk with candidates about jobs they have done, why they are interested and whether the location and shift work for them. We tell you what they have shared and what still needs checking in your interviews.
The sector's operating conditions
For maintenance crews and equipment care, the Automotive (OEM, Tier 1, Tier 2) setting matters: IATF 16949 and AIAG core tools (APQP, PPAP, FMEA, MSA, SPC), OEM scorecards and controlled shipping, JIT/JIS delivery, launches. The interview should show how those decisions change under the plant's constraints, rather than accept a certification name as proof of judgment about maintenance crews and equipment care.

Where we find people
We map people responsible for maintenance crews and equipment care in tier 1/tier 2 suppliers and interiors manufacturing, then approach people who are doing the work now. Comparable equipment helps, but it does not settle how maintenance crews and equipment care changes under automotive process requirements.
For this hire, a move from people responsible for maintenance crews and equipment care in tier 1/tier 2 suppliers and interiors manufacturing has to make sense in the person's working life. A better title without a usable change in responsibility for maintenance crews and equipment care in automotive production is a weak reason to move, particularly when the present employer makes a counteroffer.
Common hiring mistakes
- The decision behind the experience. The useful examples is a decision connecting maintenance crews and equipment care with APQP, PPAP and OEM containment, not a list of equipment or projects.
- An interview based on the work. Those limits help establish how maintenance crews and equipment care changes under automotive process requirements; they are part of competence, not a weakness to talk around.
- A move that can hold up. If the answer depends on authority over maintenance crews and equipment care in automotive production that you cannot offer, that mismatch belongs in the conversation before an offer.

How do you decide whether adjacent experience is enough?
We look for a decision connecting maintenance crews and equipment care with APQP, PPAP and OEM containment and ask which decisions the person made themselves. Experience from people responsible for maintenance crews and equipment care in tier 1/tier 2 suppliers and interiors manufacturing can be useful, but it still has to cover maintenance crews and equipment care in automotive production under the conditions you are offering.
What if their employer makes a counteroffer?
