Job description

MECHANICAL MAINTENANCE TECHNICIAN

Industrial Equipment Technician | Position Profile

PRIMARY PURPOSE

Keep production equipment safe, reliable, food-safe, and running efficiently through troubleshooting, repairs, inspections, preventive maintenance, and continuous improvement.

MAINTENANCE PRIORITY HIERARCHY

1. Food Safety: Eliminate contamination risks, damaged food-contact parts, leaking seals, loose hardware, improper temporary repairs, and other conditions that could compromise product safety.

2. Equipment / Employee Safety: Identify and correct issues involving guards, interlocks, bearings, electrical or mechanical hazards, and other unsafe equipment conditions.

3. Equipment Reliability & Efficiency: Reduce downtime, correct recurring failures, improve equipment performance, and complete mechanical adjustments needed to maintain consistent production.

4. Preventive Maintenance: Complete scheduled inspections, lubrication, wear-part replacement, equipment-condition checks, and accurate documentation of maintenance findings.

5. Continuous Improvement / Projects: Support equipment upgrades, stronger component designs, guarding improvements, changeover improvements, fabrication, and reliability-focused projects.

• Mixers and blending equipment

• Conveyors and material-handling systems

• Ovens and baking equipment

• Pumps and depositors

• Packaging equipment

• Gearboxes and motors

• Pneumatic systems

• Stainless-steel food-processing equipment

PREFERRED MECHANICAL & TECHNICAL SKILLS

• Bearings, shafts, sprockets, chains, belts, and mechanical power-transmission components

• Gearboxes and electric motors

• Pneumatics and basic hydraulics

• Pumps and mechanical seals

• Conveyor systems

• Stainless-steel food equipment

• Welding and fabrication

• Troubleshooting recurring mechanical failures and identifying root causes

• Preventive maintenance procedures and equipment inspections

• Reading equipment manuals, schematics, and mechanical drawings

• Basic electrical troubleshooting

• Sensors, switches, and motors

• Lockout/tagout (LOTO)

• Food-manufacturing sanitation, GMP, and hygienic repair requirements

WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE

• Equipment is repaired correctly and returned to service safely and efficiently.

• Food-safety and employee-safety risks are identified and escalated immediately.

• Preventive maintenance work is completed consistently and documented accurately.

• Equipment condition, required parts, and outstanding maintenance needs are clearly communicated.

• The technician contributes ideas that improve equipment reliability, maintainability, and production efficiency.
