Job description

Electro-Mechanical Technician (4-Day Work Week / 1st Shift)

Up to $32.00/Hour + Tuition Assistance, Two Rivers, WI Area, 100% Onsite, 1st Shift

• SCHEDULE: 4-Day Work Week | Monday – Thursday (6:00 AM – 4:00 PM) | Occasional Friday overtime (typically 1 Friday/month)
• COMPENSATION: Up to $32.00/Hour baseline rate + tuition assistance & comprehensive corporate benefits
• TECHNICAL FOCUS: 480V 3-phase power, AC/DC systems, hydraulics, pneumatics, sensors, relays, and basic PLC diagnostics
• EXPERIENCE: 2+ years of industrial machinery maintenance, electro-mechanical repair, or equipment troubleshooting
• ENVIRONMENT: Modern, high-autonomy custom production facility housing 45+ advanced molding presses

If you are a reliable, self-directed maintenance professional looking to escape rigid corporate bureaucracies and slow-moving conglomerate environments, this direct-hire path provides a stable, high-autonomy career home. This established, debt‑free precision manufacturing leader brings over 40 years of market success, consolidating engineering, custom tooling, and high‑volume production under one roof. The organization is built on exceptional long‑term stability—evidenced by multiple team members who have built careers here for over 30 years—and a leadership team that aggressively reinvests profits back into modern plant machinery.

This position is a true "blank canvas" for a technician who takes pride in equipment reliability and enjoys technical variety. Rather than being siloed into a narrow, repetitive task, you will wear multiple technical hats, tackling an evolving mix of mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic, and electrical challenges across a fleet of 45+ production presses. Because priority is placed on character, technical curiosity, and work ethic, candidates with a strong blend of hands‑on skill and a drive to keep learning are highly valued.

What You Will Be Doing (Daily Responsibilities)

• Diagnose, troubleshoot, and repair complex production machinery, seamlessly handling electrical root-cause isolation up to 480V three-phase systems.
• Execute comprehensive preventative maintenance routines across production equipment, including lubricating machinery, testing thermocouples, and optimizing heating systems.
• Tackle diverse technical challenges, ranging from rebuilding hydraulic/pneumatic valves and replacing relays and switches to executing general facility upkeep projects.
• Dismantle malfunctioning equipment independently utilizing cranes, hoists, and hand tools to repair components before reassembling and verifying operational efficiency.
• Partner directly with plant management and engineering teams to manage operational assets, minimize equipment downtime, and coordinate equipment installations.
• Document maintenance data accurately, tracking repair lifecycles, part consumption, and production equipment diagnostics.

What We Are Looking For (Requirements & Qualifications)

• 2+ years of verifiable experience executing electro-mechanical troubleshooting and maintenance within a manufacturing or custom job-shop setting.
• Strong electrical and fluid power fluency, with hands‑on comfort reading schematics and diagnosing low‑voltage sensors, SSR relays, three-phase motors, pumps, and basic PLC architectures.
• Decisive, self-directed drive with the confidence to step up, troubleshoot faults independently, and think critically on the shop floor.
• Uncompromising reliability and work ethic backed by an excellent attendance record and a safety‑first mindset.
• Local proximity, with permanent residency established within a comfortable commuting distance of the I-43 manufacturing corridor near the Two Rivers, WI region.
