• Ability to safely use ladders and work in confined or elevated areas when necessary
• Ability to work in a manufacturing environment with noise, dust, temperature changes, and moving equipment

The successful applicant will have verifiable industrial maintenance experience, strong troubleshooting skills, good attendance, and the ability to communicate clearly with production employees and management.

Applicants whose experience is limited to residential maintenance, lawn care, cleaning, or general handyman work will not meet the minimum qualifications for this position.
