Job description

What a day looks likeYou arrive on site, review the overnight handoff, and gear up with PPE. A conveyor alarm flashes—after a safe Lockout/Tagout (LOTO), you trace the fault through a 480V circuit, inspect the VFD, and correct a sensor alignment that restores flow. Before lunch, you execute scheduled PMs, document findings, and recommend a component upgrade to cut repeat downtime. The afternoon brings an emergency call—an HVAC unit supporting a refrigerated area needs rapid diagnosis and repair. You wrap the day by updating maintenance logs, confirming parts usage, and delivering a clear status report for the next shift.Role overviewAs an Industrial Maintenance and Reliability Technician, you will perform advanced troubleshooting, repair, and preventive maintenance on manufacturing equipment, building systems, and facilities infrastructure—keeping safety, quality, and productivity front and center.What you'll tackleDiagnose and repair mechanical, electrical, and pneumatic issues on production and facility assets.Spot recurring failure patterns and implement lasting corrective actions.Help schedule and prioritize maintenance tasks during the shift to minimize downtime.Execute and accurately document preventive maintenance and equipment services on time.Recommend and install improvements or new equipment to boost reliability and efficiency.Respond quickly to emergency calls to reduce production interruptions.Keep precise records of repairs, parts consumption, and maintenance activity.Follow all safety regulations and champion a strong safety culture.Communicate shift status, open issues, and completed work clearly during handoffs.Perform additional related tasks that support team and facility objectives.Field work & travelThis is a field role: work is performed at customer and job sites across the U.S., and you can live anywhere in the country.
