Job description

Role OverviewAs an Industrial Reliability Mechanic supporting our metal cladding operations, you will keep production machinery and facility systems running safely and consistently. Your work reduces unplanned downtime, supports production and quality targets, and upholds rigorous plant safety standards.A Day in the LifeYou start by reviewing overnight work orders and maintenance schedules. A quick walk-through of the line leads you to inspect rolling, bonding, leveling, slitting, forming, and material-handling systems. When a line trips, you move fast—diagnosing issues with bearings, gearboxes, motors, belts, chains, hydraulics, pneumatics, or pumps—and coordinating with production and other maintenance teammates to get the equipment back online.Between calls, you complete preventive and predictive tasks, read mechanical drawings and schematics to plan a minor modification, and use hand and power tools, measuring instruments, and shop equipment to get work done safely. You might align a new assembly, assist with a commissioning checklist, or document parts used and follow-up needs in the plant’s maintenance system. Throughout the shift, you keep the shop organized, follow lockout/tagout, machine-guarding, hot-work, and confined-space procedures, and partner closely with electrical, controls, production, and engineering personnel.Core ResponsibilitiesInspect, diagnose, repair, and maintain mechanical equipment across rolling, bonding, leveling, slitting, forming, and material-handling systems.Troubleshoot failures involving bearings, gearboxes, motors, belts, chains, hydraulics, pneumatics, pumps, and related components.Execute preventive and predictive maintenance per schedules and work orders.Respond to breakdowns and coordinate timely repairs with production and maintenance teammates.Interpret equipment manuals, mechanical drawings, schematics, and work instructions.Use hand tools, power tools, precision measuring instruments, and shop equipment safely and effectively.Assist with equipment installations, modifications, alignments, and commissioning.Document work performed, parts consumed, equipment condition, and follow-up actions in the plant’s maintenance system.Identify recurring issues and recommend reliability and safety improvements.Maintain a clean, orderly maintenance shop with properly stored tools and parts.Adhere to lockout/tagout, machine-guarding, hot-work, confined-space, and other applicable safety procedures.Collaborate with electrical, controls, production, and engineering teams.QualificationsHigh school diploma or equivalent; technical training in industrial maintenance or related field preferred.Experience as an industrial maintenance mechanic, millwright, or comparable role in a manufacturing environment.Working knowledge of mechanical systems, hydraulics, pneumatics, and industrial equipment.Ability to read mechanical drawings and use basic measuring tools.Demonstrated troubleshooting ability, attention to detail, and strong safety mindset.Welding, machining, rigging, or CMMS experience is a plus.Work Environment & Physical DemandsManufacturing setting with noise, moving equipment, temperature variation, and exposure to oils and greases.Ability to stand, walk, climb, bend, and lift tools or components as required, with or without reasonable accommodation.Wear required PPE; work scheduled shifts with overtime or call-ins as needed.Success MeasuresSafe, effective maintenance and repairs.Accurate, timely documentation of maintenance activities.Reduced equipment downtime and repeat failures.Consistent adherence to safety procedures and plant maintenance standards.
