• End‑to‑end upkeep: maintain plant structures and critical utilities (electrical, heating, plumbing), restore machine functionality, and service hydraulic systems across varied production equipment.
• Hands‑on craftsmanship: perform machining and bench operations to alter/repair tools, dies, fixtures, jigs, gauges, and guarding.
• Rapid recovery: troubleshoot faults and complete repairs; execute preventive maintenance to prevent repeat issues.
• Data to action: own SPC charting—read trends, interpret what they mean, and adjust processes/equipment so parts remain within specification.
• Flex where needed with additional duties to support production.

What Sets You Up for Success

• Intermediate troubleshooting across mechanical, electrical, and hydraulic systems.
• Collaborative approach with clear communication and strong interpersonal skills.
• Comfort with computers for diagnostics, documentation, and process analysis.
• Forklift operation capability.
• Fluent in English and the primary language used in your area/location.

Credentials

• High school diploma or equivalent.
• Approximately 1.5 years of technical experience leveraging mechanical, electrical, and hydraulic skills.

The Realities of the Work

• Lift and carry: frequently 5–25 lbs; occasionally 25–75 lbs; rarely more than 75 lbs.
• Be on your feet: stand and/or walk continuously for 8–12 hours.
• Move with purpose: push, pull, bend, kneel, twist, crawl, and reach on an occasional to frequent basis during the shift.
• Use power/vibrating tools for extended periods (8–12 hours).
• Operate motorized vehicles as part of daily duties.
• Work in high‑noise areas requiring hearing protection for the full shift.
