Mep & Processing Maintenance Manager

Location:  Ghana (Multi-site: Mpakadan, Anyaase, Asutsuare, Depots)

Seniority Level:  Management

The Challenge: Are you a Maintenance Leader or just a Supervisor?

At Tropo Farms, we don't operate in a "perfect ecosystem." We are looking for a battle-hardened  MEP & Processing Maintenance Manager  to take full ownership of our infrastructure and industrial capabilities.

This role is not for a "desk engineer" or someone looking for their first management break. You will manage multiple dispersed sites, navigate a slow procurement process, and lead a technical team that requires constant auditing and high-level technical mentorship. We need a manager who comes to put order into chaos, not someone who needs to be taught how to lead.

What You Will Do

Restore Order:  Implement formal procedures and maintenance routines where they are currently lacking. Technical Auditing:  Our base technicians have skill gaps. You must have deeper practical knowledge than your crew to identify wrong diagnostics and ensure work is done right the first time. Manage in Scarcity:  Procurement is slow; the plant cannot stop. You will lead contingency planning, manage critical spares, and find safe, creative ways to keep equipment running while awaiting definitive solutions. Utility & Infrastructure Ownership:  Take charge of Power Generation (Diesel/Solar/Grid), high/low voltage distribution, and water treatment across all sites. Cold Chain & Processing:  Direct the maintenance of industrial refrigeration (ice machines/cold rooms) and food processing machinery, ensuring zero downtime for production. Project Vision:  Lead the integration of new equipment for upcoming expansions, building maintenance protocols from scratch.

Hard Requirements (Non-Negotiable)

Education:  BSc in Electrical, Electronic, Electromechanical Engineering, or Mechatronics. Experience:  Minimum 8+ years of experience in industrial plant maintenance. You  must  have managed multi-site operations previously. Deep Technical Expertise:  Provable, hands-on experience with Diesel Generators/Alternators, Industrial Refrigeration (HVAC/Cold Rooms), Electrical Networks, and PLC/Automation systems. Leadership:  Experience managing third-party contractors and large, dispersed teams in difficult environments.

We are NOT looking for:

Generic CVs:  If your resume is full of "textbook phrases" (e.g., "overseeing maintenance," "ensuring safety") without naming specific machines you fixed or problems you solved, you will be disqualified. Desk Engineers:  If your experience is primarily theoretical, focused on software and meetings without direct plant-floor intervention, you will not survive this role. Inflated Titles:  We are looking for real achievements (budget management, infrastructure optimization) rather than people who were managers in title only while performing administrative tasks. First-time Managers:  We do not have the structure to teach you how to be a boss. You must arrive ready to lead.

Why Join Tropo Farms?

This is a high-impact role. You will be the custodian of the company’s fixed infrastructure and a strategic partner in our expansion. If you are a proactive problem solver who thrives when the pressure is on, we want to hear from you.

To Apply:

Please submit a CV that clearly outlines the critical equipment  you have managed and the  specific operational challenges  you have overcome.
