Job description

A day in the lifeYou start your shift with a set of planned PMs on production lines and plant utilities—checking conveyors, compressors, and support systems to keep everything running smoothly. A call comes in: a hydraulic unit is losing pressure. You diagnose, replace components, and get the line back up with minimal interruption. Before lunch, you inspect rotating shafts and bearings, spotting early wear and planning a proactive fix. In the afternoon, you assist engineering with a machine upgrade, wiring, aligning, and testing to validate performance. You close the day by documenting work, collaborating with production and maintenance teammates on reliability improvements, and restoring the area to a clean, safe, organized state.What you’ll tackleExecute preventive and corrective maintenance on production machinery and plant utility equipment to ensure uptime.Diagnose and repair mechanical, pneumatic, hydraulic, and rotating systems to reduce unplanned downtime.Conduct inspections to detect emerging issues early and recommend solutions before failures occur.Assist with new equipment installs, upgrades, and continuous improvement initiatives.Partner closely with production, engineering, and maintenance to drive equipment reliability and performance gains.Maintain a safe, orderly work area while following all safety procedures and policies.What you bringA technical diploma, certificate, or comparable hands-on background in industrial maintenance, mechanical systems, or a related trade.Preferably 0–5 years of experience in manufacturing or industrial maintenance environments.Working knowledge of mechanical assemblies, hydraulics, pneumatics, rotating equipment, and troubleshooting methods.Problem-solver who can work independently and collaborate effectively within a team.Willing to work overtime, join an on-call rotation, and obtain equipment certifications as required.Hands-on strengthsBuilding and administering preventive maintenance plansHeavy equipment repair and restorationLow/medium-voltage exposure, including 120/208/240/480 voltage systemsElectrical troubleshooting and repairOSHA 10-Hour (OSHA 10)Relay testing and verificationHVAC maintenanceHVAC troubleshootingHVAC repairPneumatics troubleshootingPowerhouse troubleshootingBoiler troubleshootingGeneral maintenance and repair capabilitiesIndustrial electrical experienceIndustrial electrical systems knowledgeWorkplace safety and EHS management practicesEquipment diagnostics and troubleshootingSpindle maintenance and repairMachine safety inspections
