Hire Sync is hiring an experienced Industrial Maintenance Technician for a well-established manufacturing facility in Mentor, Ohio. This is a hands‑on opportunity for someone who enjoys troubleshooting, repairing equipment, and keeping production moving.

If you’re the person people call when a machine goes down, you know your way around electrical and mechanical systems, and you aren’t afraid to pick up a welder or troubleshoot a hydraulic issue, this could be a great fit.

What You’ll Do

• Troubleshoot, repair, and maintain production machinery and facility equipment
• Diagnose electrical issues involving motors, controls, relays, sensors, contactors, VFDs, and electrical panels
• Read and interpret electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, blueprints, and technical manuals
• Perform MIG, TIG, and Stick welding repairs as needed
• Fabricate and repair machine components, guards, brackets, platforms, and support structures
• Troubleshoot and repair hydraulic and pneumatic systems
• Repair or replace motors, bearings, gearboxes, conveyors, pumps, fans, and other mechanical components
• Perform preventative and predictive maintenance to help reduce equipment downtime
• Assist with equipment installations, upgrades, and continuous improvement projects
• Respond quickly to equipment failures and production needs
• Complete maintenance documentation and work orders
• Follow OSHA requirements and Lockout/Tagout procedures

What We’re Looking For

• 1+ years of industrial maintenance experience in a manufacturing environment
• Electrical troubleshooting and repair experience
• Welding and fabrication experience
• Experience working with hydraulics, pneumatics, and industrial mechanical systems
• Ability to read electrical schematics and mechanical drawings
• Strong mechanical aptitude and troubleshooting skills
• Ability to diagnose problems and work independently
• Safety-focused approach to maintenance and repairs
• Dependable, hands‑on attitude with a focus on keeping production running

A Plus If You Have

• PLC troubleshooting experience
• Experience with VFDs, motor controls, or industrial automation
• Maintenance experience in metals manufacturing, coating, steel, or another heavy industrial environment
• Technical training, apprenticeship, or electrical certification

Why Join Us?

• $20–$25/hour based on experience
• Stable opportunity with an established Northeast Ohio manufacturer
• Variety of electrical, mechanical, welding, hydraulic, and pneumatic work
• Opportunity to use and expand your technical skill set
• Hands‑on role where your work directly impacts production and operations

This isn't a position where you'll spend your day doing the same repair over and over. We're looking for a versatile maintenance professional who enjoys figuring out what went wrong, fixing it correctly, and getting equipment back into production.
