An Interim Maintenance Director operational within 72 hours
Repeated breakdowns, unplanned stoppages or the departure of your maintenance manager: Delville Management deploys an Interim Maintenance Director who is operational in less than a week.
The responsibilities of an Interim Maintenance Director
The Interim Maintenance Director ensures the availability of your industrial assets. They step in to stabilise a department under pressure, cover for an absent maintenance manager or lead the modernisation of your installations.
Maintenance policy
The Interim Maintenance Director defines the site's maintenance strategy and balances preventive, corrective and predictive maintenance to reduce unplanned stoppages over the long term.
Managing technical teams
They lead technicians and methods staff, reorganise on-call rotas and coordinate maintenance with production, quality and safety.
Improving equipment reliability
They analyse the causes of breakdowns, prioritise critical equipment and roll out action plans to improve line availability.
CMMS and performance management
The Interim Maintenance Director makes CMMS data reliable and tracks key indicators (OEE, MTBF, MTTR) to manage technical performance day to day.
Technical shutdowns and new works
They prepare and lead technical shutdowns, manage new works projects and secure the restart of installations within budget.
Budget, subcontracting and compliance
They control the maintenance budget, negotiate and monitor subcontracting contracts, and ensure the HSE and regulatory compliance of equipment.
Every hour of unplanned stoppage weighs on your lead times and margins. We present a selection of Interim Maintenance Directors within 72 hours, chosen for their ability to take back control of sites under pressure.
Recruiting a maintenance director can take several months in this tight market. The selected manager takes up the role in less than a week to secure critical equipment, reorganise interventions and restore production continuity.
We select Maintenance Directors who have already dealt with comparable situations: availability crisis, CMMS rollout, major technical shutdown, industrial transfer. They understand your installations immediately and act without delay.
The profiles we deploy commit to concrete indicators: rate of unplanned stoppages, OEE, MTBF, MTTR and maintenance costs. Each action is tracked and measured throughout the assignment.
Our offices in France (Paris, Lyon, Lille, Nantes, Toulouse, Strasbourg) and internationally (Germany, Italy, Spain) allow us to work as close as possible to your industrial sites. Each assignment is followed by a Mission Director who is an expert in your sector or region.
Seasoned maintenance leaders who have run technical departments on demanding production sites, with overall responsibility for equipment availability.
The Interim Maintenance Director stands out for a dual skill set: multidisciplinary technical expertise (mechanical, electrical, automation) and leadership able to mobilise teams under pressure. Many were maintenance managers before heading the function.
Very quickly, they diagnose equipment and methods, set priorities and put lasting practices in place. They also prepare the handover, so that the gains achieved last after they leave.
