Job description

MAINTENANCE TECHNICIAN · NIGHT SHIFT

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

A line mechanic who keeps the plant running after the day crew leaves and has the room to do the work the day does not get to.

The shift

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

The work

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

Night is often when the longer PM and the project work get done. You still support production when the lines are running. Conveyors, fillers, case equipment, palletizing, and the rest of the floor are the equipment. GMP sanitation in your area is part of the job.

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 can work independently when the day supervisors are gone.
• You reduce downtime and leave the machine better than you found it.
• You document the work so the day shift knows what happened.
• You treat the night as a production shift, not a quiet place to hide.

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 night-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, plus applicable shift differential. Benefits include medical, dental, 401(k), and the plant package.

The place

A growing food manufacturing operation in the Walton area. Night shift carries real production and the work the day cannot finish. Company name shared after a conversation.
