You know that feeling when a machine roars back to life because you figured it out? When the crew gives you the nod because production’s running again—smooth, fast, and right? That’s what keeps our Maintenance Mechanics coming back every day.

At Wisconsin Aluminum Foundry, we’ve been pouring strength and craftsmanship into American manufacturing for over a century. Our foundry never stops moving, and neither do we. When the heat’s up and the pressure’s on, we rely on skilled problem-solvers who can think fast, work smart, and keep the heartbeat of our operation strong.

• Work in an environment that’s hot, gritty, and filled with moving parts—just how you like it
• Support your crew and get the job done right the first time

Qualifications

• A solid background in industrial maintenance—foundry experience is a big plus
• Mechanical and electrical troubleshooting chops
• The ability to work in tight spots, hot areas, and physically demanding situations
• Comfort working on ladders, with overhead tasks, and lifting up to 60 lbs
