Job description

MAINTENANCE TECHNICIAN DAY SHIFT

Northern Kentucky Food manufacturing 6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.

A line mechanic who can keep production equipment running and make it better while the plant is awake.

The shift

Day shift is 6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Four 12-hour days. The days rotate monthly: one month Monday through Thursday, the next Friday through Monday. Then it switches. Overtime and weekend coverage as needed.

The work

You would maintain and improve the manufacturing equipment that makes the product. Preventive and predictive maintenance, troubleshooting downtime, machine upgrades that make hard runs easier, and the diagnostic work that keeps quality and output where they need to be.

That includes conveyors, fillers, case equipment, palletizing, and the rest of the production floor. You support GMP sanitation in your area and work with production so the line is ready when they are.

The plant has a real CMMS. You use it. You also support the safety program, including lockout/tagout and making sure equipment safeguards actually work.

What good looks like

• You reduce downtime, not just respond to it.
• You can troubleshoot mechanically and electrically well enough to get the machine back online.
• You leave the work documented so the night shift is not starting blind.
• You can work with production without making the problem worse.

Who this is for

• High school diploma or equivalent.
• Skilled trade apprenticeship preferred (mechanical, electrical, machinist, pipe fitter) but not required.
• Several years of maintenance experience in a manufacturing environment preferred.
• Able to work the day-shift rotating schedule and overtime when the plant needs it.

The schedule

Two 12-hour shifts. Day is 6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Night is 6:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. The days rotate monthly. One month is Monday through Thursday. The next is Friday through Monday. Then it switches. Overtime and weekend coverage happen. This is a plant, not an office.

Pay and benefits

Pay range is roughly $31 to $40 per hour depending on experience. Benefits include medical, dental, 401(k), and the plant package.

The place

A growing food manufacturing operation in the Walton area. Day shift is when most of the production volume and most of the project work happens. Company name shared after a conversation.
