The pay range for this position is $20–$35 per hour depending upon education and experience. The schedule is an overnight 12‑hour shift on a 2‑2‑3 schedule. You will train on a daylight schedule before transitioning into the overnight shift.

In this role you will do more than just turn a wrench; you will keep the heartbeat of our recycling facility running strong. From managing and performing maintenance & production inventories to troubleshooting, repairing, and installing industrial equipment and maintaining inventories, you will play a hands‑on role in ensuring that our advanced recycling machinery operates at peak performance.

Basic Requirements

• At least 2 years of industrial maintenance experience (extrusion, electrical, mechanical, pneumatic, or hydraulic systems a plus).
• Ability to read and interpret manuals, blueprints, and work orders.
• Hands‑on skills with power and hand tools, troubleshooting, and preventative maintenance.
• Knowledge of PLCs, Lean manufacturing, and 5S principles.
• A strong team mindset and the ability to work independently with minimal supervision.
• High school diploma or GED (trade school, associate’s degree, or welding/fabrication skills preferred).
• Must be able to lift 50 pounds repetitively.
• Willingness to work overtime when needed.
• This role is considered safety sensitive.
• Must be willing to consent to Motor Vehicle Record screening, criminal background check, pre‑employment physical, and drug screen (inclusive of THC).
• Must have a reliable form of transportation.
• Maintain consistent and timely attendance.
• Must be eligible to work in the United States without future sponsorship.

• Familiarity with hydraulic, pneumatic, or electrical systems.
• Knowledge of industrial automation or robotics.
• Background in mechanical repair, machine installation, or process improvement.

Work Environment

• Safety‑First Culture: Hearing protection and other PPE are required. Safety isn’t optional; it’s the foundation of everything we do. All required PPE is provided by Triumvirate.
• Manufacturing Setting: You’ll work in a large, 100,000‑plus‑square‑foot recycling facility that is always active with production, equipment movement, and inbound deliveries.
• Dynamic Conditions: Seasonal temperature changes, radio communication with operators and managers, and constant coordination across teams keep things moving quickly.
• Team‑Oriented Atmosphere: You will be part of a 100‑plus‑employee operation where collaboration, communication, and accountability are essential.
• On Your Feet: Expect to be moving across large areas of the plant where the surface is concrete, responding to maintenance needs, and staying hands‑on with equipment.
• Potential limited Travel: May be required to maintain offsite warehouse locations and training.
• Be ready for change: Duties, responsibilities and activities may change as our operation grows.

Duties, responsibilities, and activities may change, or new ones may be assigned at any time with or without notice.
