This position is well suited for someone with a practical mechanical foundation who works well with others, learns quickly, adapts to changing priorities, and takes ownership of assigned work.

A candidate does not need to enter the role with advanced knowledge of every system listed below. We are willing to train someone who demonstrates sound judgment, initiative, reliability, and the ability to apply feedback.

Key Responsibilities

• Perform scheduled preventive maintenance, inspections, lubrication, adjustments, and basic repairs on production and facility equipment.

• Support coating, laminating, and converting equipment, along with motors, pumps, conveyors, rollers, air compressors, forklifts, and related systems.
• Respond to production equipment issues promptly and communicate clearly with operators, supervisors, and other maintenance personnel.
• Use schematics, manuals, work instructions, and job aids to complete assigned work; ask questions when information or direction is unclear.
• Document completed work, findings, follow-up needs, and parts usage accurately in the computerized maintenance management system.
• Maintain tools, spare parts, and work areas in a clean, safe, and organized condition.
• Participate in equipment installation, testing, commissioning, and continuous-improvement projects as assigned.
• Follow lockout tagout, personal protective equipment, OSHA, company safety, and applicable ISO requirements at all times.
• Develop technical knowledge through hands-on training, formal instruction, coaching, and independent learning.

What We Value Most

• Think Safe
• Dependability and consistent attendance.
• A positive attitude and the ability to work cooperatively with maintenance, production, and leadership.
• Willingness to learn, accept coaching, and apply feedback.
• Adaptability when priorities, schedules, or operating conditions change.
• Initiative, follow-through, and ownership of assigned work.
• Safe work habits and the judgment to stop and ask questions when a task is unclear or outside current qualifications.
• Practical problem-solving ability, curiosity, and attention to detail.
• Clear, respectful communication and a service-oriented approach to supporting production.

Minimum Qualifications

• High school diploma or equivalent.
• Demonstrated mechanical aptitude through employment, trade school, military service, automotive or equipment repair, construction, facilities work, or comparable hands-on experience.
• Ability to use common hand and power tools safely.
• Ability to follow written and verbal instructions and learn established maintenance and safety procedures.
• Basic computer skills and willingness to use MaintainX or another computerized maintenance management system.
• Commitment to teamwork, workplace organization, and safe work practices.

Preferred Experience

Experience in the following areas is helpful but is not required for an otherwise strong, trainable candidate:

• Manufacturing, industrial maintenance, facilities maintenance, or equipment repair.
• Motors, pumps, conveyors, bearings, rollers, plumbing, pneumatics, or fabrication.
• Industrial electrical systems, sensors, control panels, variable frequency drives, or programmable logic controllers.
• Boilers and steam systems, compressed-air systems, or powered industrial truck maintenance.
• Reading mechanical drawings, electrical schematics, technical manuals, or blueprints.
• Preventive-maintenance software, ISO-controlled documentation, or spare-parts inventory.
• English and Spanish bilingual communication.

Training and Development

The selected candidate will receive role-appropriate training and will be expected to demonstrate steady progress toward independent troubleshooting and repair.
