We are looking to add an experienced Maintenance Mechanic III to join our talented team at our Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin Ingredients Production Facility!

• Work with PLCs, motor controls, VFDs, and process sensors (temperature, flow, pressure, etc.).
• Calibrate instruments such as pressure, temperature, pH, and flow sensors to ensure accurate control and data collection in the fermentation process.
• Support utility systems: boiler operations and steam distribution, compressed air systems, ammonia refrigeration, and HVAC systems.
• Support equipment installations and upgrades.
• Perform preventive and corrective maintenance on a variety of processing equipment, including fermenters, centrifuges, pumps, agitators, heat exchangers, and CIP (Clean-in-Place) systems to reduce downtime and improve system reliability.
• Read schematics and P&IDs to diagnose and resolve issues efficiently and effectively.
• Collaborate with operations, engineering, and QA teams in a clean, regulated environment.
• Log maintenance activities using CMMS.

• Technical degree or certification in Electro-Mechanical, Mechatronics, or Industrial Maintenance.
• Strong troubleshooting skills — both electrical and mechanical.
• Experience working with sanitary systems (a plus).
• Comfort working in a non-conveyor process environment (fermenters, centrifuges, pumps, tanks, pipe systems).
• Team-oriented, safety-focused, and self-motivated.
