Job description

Maintenance Technician | Harpoon Brewery | Boston, MA

Are you someone who loves solving problems, fixing things with your hands, and keeping the wheels turning? At Harpoon Brewery, we're looking for a Maintenance Technician who's ready to jump into the heart of a fast‑paced brewery, keeping our equipment in top shape so the beer keeps flowing.

This role is perfect for a motivated, mechanically minded professional who thrives in a dynamic environment. One day you might be fine‑tuning equipment for maximum efficiency, the next you could be troubleshooting a breakdown and leading a rebuild. If you're adaptable, resourceful, and excited to work in a place where every day looks a little different, this is the role for you.

What You’ll Do

• Perform preventive maintenance and hands‑on troubleshooting on brewery equipment
• Work with the maintenance team to prioritize, schedule, and complete repair tasks
• Diagnose and fix mechanical, electrical, and pneumatic issues to minimize downtime
• Support production staff with equipment setup, training, and running adjustments
• Log work orders accurately and on time in the maintenance system
• Ensure safe, clean, and efficient operation of all packaging equipment
• Juggle multiple projects while keeping a clean, organized workspace

What We’re Looking For

• 2‑5 years of maintenance experience in a manufacturing setting preferred
• Mechanical and electrical skills, with the ability to read manuals, schematics, and blueprints
• Troubleshooting skills and confidence in handling rebuilds and overhauls
• Flexibility to work a rotating on‑call schedule (every 4‑5 weeks)
• A collaborative mindset – independent worker who’s also a great teammate
• Proficiency in Microsoft Word and Excel
• Strong communication skills and a willingness to learn and grow

Physical And Work Environment

• Ability to lift up to 100 lbs (and 50 lbs to shoulder height)
• Comfortable working at heights, in tight spaces, and around moving machinery
• Ability to work long periods on your feet in varying conditions and temperatures

Why Join Us?

This is more than a maintenance job – it's a chance to be part of a team that makes something people love. You'll be surrounded by people who care about what they do, and you'll play a direct role in keeping our brewery running smoothly. We offer competitive pay, great benefits, and the chance to build your career in a hands‑on, exciting environment.

If you’re ready to put your skills to work in a brewery that values innovation, teamwork, and community, we’d love to hear from you.

FLSA: Full‑time, Hourly

Compensation: $30‑$38 per hour based on experience
