What You'll Do

• Troubleshoot, diagnose and repair mechanical issues on plastics recycling machinery and plant equipment.
• Maintain and repair shredders, grinders, conveyors, pumps, motors, gearboxes, bearings, drive systems and other industrial processing equipment.
• Troubleshoot and repair hydraulic, pneumatic and mechanical systems to minimize production downtime.
• Perform preventative, predictive and corrective maintenance to improve equipment reliability and performance.

• Read and interpret mechanical drawings, blueprints, schematics and technical manuals.
• Install, dismantle, align, adjust, rebuild and modify industrial equipment and mechanical components.

• Support equipment installations, upgrades, rebuilds, overhauls and continuous improvement projects.
• Inspect equipment for wear, damage and potential failures, including bearings, belts, chains, shafts and other mechanical components.
• Work closely with Maintenance and Production teams to identify recurring equipment issues and improve overall equipment reliability.
• Complete maintenance work orders and accurately document repairs, inspections and preventative maintenance activities.
• Maintain a strong presence on the production floor and proactively identify safety, reliability and efficiency concerns.
• Follow all plant safety procedures, including lockout/tagout requirements, and maintain a clean and safe working environment.
• Continue developing technical skills through training and hands‑on experience.

What We're Looking For

• Working around industrial recycling machinery, conveyors, noise and vibration.
• Working at heights or in confined spaces when required.
• Conditions that may occasionally be wet, slippery, dusty, humid or noisy.
• Wearing required PPE, including safety glasses, hearing protection and other plant‑specific protective equipment.
