The Opportunity

We're looking for a true multi-craft Industrial Maintenance Technician who can troubleshoot more than basic electrical circuits.

This is a hands-on maintenance role in a high-volume food processing environment where you'll be working across electrical, mechanical, pneumatic, hydraulic, and controls systems. The strongest candidates will be able to work through a problem logically, read electrical prints and ladder logic, and get to the root cause rather than simply replacing parts.

The facility has been operating for nearly 70 years and has a long history of stability and experienced employees. This is an opportunity to join a team where skilled maintenance technicians are genuinely needed and have room to grow.

What You'll Do

• Troubleshoot and repair industrial production equipment
• Diagnose electrical problems beyond basic start/stop circuits
• Read and interpret hard-copy electrical schematics and ladder logic prints
• Trace control circuits and identify electrical faults
• Troubleshoot motors, sensors, switches, relays, contactors and control components
• Use electrical test equipment to diagnose problems
• Troubleshoot mechanical systems including conveyors, bearings, chains, gearboxes and processing equipment
• Work with pneumatic and hydraulic systems
• Perform preventive maintenance and equipment inspections
• Respond to equipment breakdowns and prioritize repairs
• Identify recurring problems and work toward root-cause solutions
• Complete maintenance documentation and communicate issues with the team

What We're Looking For

Required:

• Industrial maintenance experience in a manufacturing or production environment
• Strong electrical troubleshooting ability
• Ability to troubleshoot beyond basic start/stop circuits
• Ability to read and understand hard-copy ladder logic/electrical prints
• Strong mechanical troubleshooting skills
• Experience using electrical test equipment
• Ability to troubleshoot independently and methodically
• Strong understanding of industrial maintenance and safety practices

Preferred:

• PLC troubleshooting experience
• Allen-Bradley or similar controls experience
• Experience with 480V electrical systems
• Sensors, relays, contactors and control circuits
• Pneumatic and hydraulic troubleshooting
• Conveyor and automated production equipment
• Preventive maintenance experience
• Food processing or similar high-volume manufacturing experience

Schedule & Pay

3rd Shift

• Typically 9:00pm–7:00am
• 50–60 hours per week
• Saturdays are part of the normal work schedule
• Significant overtime opportunity
• $33–$37/hour base
• +$1/hour 3rd shift premium
• $34–$38/hour effective hourly rate

With the amount of overtime built into the schedule, this is a strong opportunity for a technician who wants to work hard and maximize their earnings.

Why You'll Want to Work Here

• Nearly 70 years of stability
• Locally owned operation with a long history of employment stability
• Consistent overtime opportunity
• Work on a wide range of industrial equipment
• True multi-craft maintenance environment
• Opportunity to continue developing electrical and controls skills
• Experienced team and approachable leadership
• Benefits available after 60 days
• Attendance and PTO programs
• Strong maternity/paternity leave program

The Bottom Line

This isn't a basic maintenance position.

If you're the technician people call when they can't figure out why a machine isn't running, can read a ladder logic print, trace an electrical problem, and work through the mechanical side of the equipment too, this is the level of technician they're looking for.
