Job description

Step Into a Day on the FloorSun up, safety check, and into the hum of a high-volume aluminum manufacturing facility. Your morning might start at an extrusion press that needs a quick diagnosis. With prints in hand and multimeter at your side, you trace an electrical fault, swap a failed component, and bring the line back to life. Before lunch, you’re deep into a hydraulic issue—inspecting a cylinder, testing a valve, and verifying pressures—to keep throughput on target. The afternoon could be a planned changeover, a gearbox inspection on a conveyor, or a predictive check on bearings and pumps. Between calls, you document PMs, tidy your work area, and keep an eye on the next potential downtime risk.How You’ll Make an ImpactTroubleshoot and repair mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic, and electrical equipment across production areasOwn preventative and predictive maintenance to keep lines stable and efficientMaintain and repair aluminum extrusion presses and their supporting systemsDiagnose issues with conveyors, motors, gearboxes, pumps, bearings, and other rotating assetsEvaluate hydraulic and pneumatic circuits, including cylinders, valves, and related componentsUse a multimeter and electrical schematics to track down and resolve electrical faultsRead and interpret mechanical drawings, blueprints, and electrical schematics to plan workExecute changeovers, adjustments, installations, and corrective repairsComplete PMs and record maintenance activities accurately and promptlyRespond rapidly to unplanned downtime to minimize production interruptionFollow plant safety procedures and maintain a clean, organized workspaceWhat You BringHands-on industrial maintenance experience, ideally within manufacturingProficiency with hydraulics and pneumaticsStrong mechanical troubleshooting and repair capabilitiesExperience servicing motors, gearboxes, conveyors, bearings, and pumpsAbility to troubleshoot electrical systems using a multimeterSkill in reading mechanical drawings and electrical schematicsBackground in aluminum extrusion or metal manufacturing is highly preferredSolid understanding of preventative maintenance methodsSelf-directed approach with the ability to respond effectively to breakdownsReliable attendance and a safety-first mindset
