Basic Job Functions:

C.H.I. Overhead Doors is seeking a Maintenance Technician to join our team in Arthur, IL. As a key member of our operations, you'll be responsible for installing, maintaining, troubleshooting, and repairing production and facility equipment — keeping our lines running efficiently and safely. This role requires a strong blend of mechanical and electrical expertise. You'll work on complex systems including electrical panels, motor controls, PLC systems, and pneumatic and hydraulic equipment. This role centers on preventive maintenance and immediate emergency response. Technicians carry assigned areas of expertise and respond according to which area needs support — scheduled preventive maintenance work is set aside immediately when an emergency call comes in from a production line manager.

This role requires flexible scheduling at times, depending on the needs of the business, and may also include mandatory overtime. Typical schedule is Mon-Fri, 6am-5pm, with one rotating night shift week every 8 weeks (5pm-4am). This role can be physcially demanding and require heavy lifting at times.

The selection process for this role may include an onsite assessment, and usually takes up to 2 hours to complete.

What You'll Do

• Keep Operations Running — Install, maintain, and repair production machines and plant equipment across a variety of systems.
• Solve Complex Problems — Apply advanced skills across mechanical, electrical, pneumatic, and hydraulic systems to identify root causes and resolve issues efficiently.
• Perform Preventive Maintenance — Conduct regular preventive maintenance on machines, equipment, and plant facilities to minimize downtime and extend equipment life.
• Work from Technical Documentation — Read and interpret equipment manuals, blueprints, and schematics to perform required maintenance and service.
• Respond to Urgent Needs — Provide emergency and unscheduled repairs during production, in addition to scheduled maintenance during planned service windows, responding immediately according to assigned area of expertise.
• Operate with Precision & Safety — Safely operate various hand and power tools, electric meters, and material handling equipment while maintaining clean, orderly work areas.

What Success Looks Like

• Equipment runs reliably — downtime is minimized through proactive maintenance and fast, accurate troubleshooting.
• Problems stay fixed — root causes are identified and resolved, not just symptoms.
• You're a trusted resource for the team — colleagues and supervisors rely on your technical expertise.
• You operate with ownership — treating equipment and the facility as your own responsibility.
• You live the Nucor cultural values — safety, integrity, trust, teamwork, and a can-do attitude — in every interaction, and coordinate well with fellow maintenance technicians.

Compensation:

$40-50/hour total starting pay. (This includes a base hourly rate of $25.73-$28.18/hour plus a weekly production bonus.)

Current bonus average is 74%

Example: Hourly Base Rate = 25.73 | Weekly Production Bonus = 70% | Total Hourly Rate = $43.74

Production Bonus
Production Bonus percentage is variable, determinate upon attaining production goals each week. Production Bonus is paid out weekly.

Profit-Sharing
10% of Nucor's pre-tax earnings are contributed to the Profit Sharing Plan annually and distributed to all eligible teammates. A large portion is deposited into your profit-sharing account, and a smaller portion is distributed in cash. Current 6-year average = 19.88% of your eligible earnings.
