What We're Looking For

This is a great fit for someone who knows their way around industrial equipment and isn't afraid to get their hands dirty, but isn't necessarily looking for a senior‑level maintenance position. You should be mechanically inclined, comfortable troubleshooting everyday equipment issues, and know when something needs to be kicked up to the Maintenance Manager.

We're looking for someone dependable, practical, and willing to jump in wherever needed to help keep the shop running.
