Job description

Ready to put your electrical, hydraulic, and mechanical troubleshooting skills to work where they matter every day?

Position Overview

Machines do not wait, and neither do we. We are hiring a Maintenance Technician to keep our Evansville, Wisconsin foundry operation safe, reliable, and productive. This is a hands-on role for someone who can diagnose problems quickly, work confidently around heavy equipment, and take pride in restoring equipment the right way.

You will work with the machinery that keeps a high-output operation moving, including furnaces, molding machines, sand systems, shakeout equipment, conveyors, cranes, hoists, and hydraulic and pneumatic systems. Whether you are responding to a production issue, completing preventive maintenance, or helping bring new equipment online, your work will have a direct impact on uptime, safety, and the team around you.

Key Responsibilities

• Troubleshoot, repair, and maintain mechanical, electrical, hydraulic, and pneumatic equipment in a foundry environment.
• Perform preventive, predictive, and corrective maintenance to identify wear, abnormal noise, vibration, overheating, and other issues before they become bigger problems.
• Diagnose equipment failures, complete root-cause analysis, and implement effective repairs that reduce downtime.
• Support welding, fabrication, equipment installation, and startup work as needed.
• Use CMMS tools to document maintenance activity, track parts usage, and help keep the maintenance area organized.
• Partner with production and engineering teams to prioritize work, communicate clearly, and solve problems safely.
• Follow lockout/tagout, PPE, and other safety procedures every day.

Qualifications

• At least three years of industrial maintenance experience, ideally in a foundry or other heavy manufacturing setting.
• Strong electrical, mechanical, hydraulic, and pneumatic troubleshooting skills, including comfort working with 480-volt electrical systems.
• The ability to read technical drawings, schematics, and equipment manuals.
• A practical, independent problem-solving approach and the communication skills to work well across shifts and teams.
• A high school diploma or GED; technical or vocational training and electrical certification are valuable additions.
• The physical ability to work around heat, noise, dust, vibration, moving equipment, and to safely lift, climb, stand, and kneel as the work requires.

• We offer health, dental, and vision insurance, a 401(k) match, and paid time off.
• We also offer meaningful work, varied technical challenges, and the opportunity to be the person the operation counts on when it needs a solution.
