Job description

You are genuinely dual-trade, strong mechanically and confident with electrical troubleshooting

You like being the person who figures out what is wrong, not the person who calls someone else

You are comfortable working around industrial chemicals in the required protective equipment

You are happy wearing several hats at a small, fast-growing site, from a reactor rebuild one day to an HVAC filter and a lighting repair the next

If you want a narrow, one-machine specialty or a strictly production-floor role, this is not your role

Routine inspections, preventive maintenance, and repairs on reactors, pumps and valves, mixers and agitators, storage tanks, instrumentation, and control systems

General facility and production maintenance, including heating and ventilation systems, building exterior, security systems, and fire safety systems

Troubleshooting electrical and plumbing issues so operations stay uninterrupted

Replacing and installing electrical components in industrial machinery

Diagnosing electrical faults, running root cause analysis, and implementing the repair

Reading schematics and using test equipment to find faults in electrical systems and machinery

Keeping the work area clean and the spare-parts inventory current and organized

Supporting technical projects: equipment modifications, fabricating specialty parts and fixtures, and coordinating outside machine shops and vendors

5 or more years of hands‑on maintenance experience in a manufacturing or industrial setting

A strong mechanical foundation with real electrical capability, not one or the other

Vocational training or certification in mechanical, electrical, or industrial maintenance is preferred

Confidence troubleshooting common electrical and plumbing problems

Comfort working in a lab and plant environment around industrial chemicals, wearing the required protective equipment

Permanent US work authorization. This client does not sponsor, now or in the future

Fremont, California. Fully on-site

Work happens primarily in a research and development lab environment, with plant and facility work as needed

Assigned work uniform, protective eyewear, and additional protective equipment as indicated

Hourly range $34.52 to $51.79, plus a performance bonus

Medical, dental, and vision insurance, a wellness program, paid time off and holidays, and a 401(k) with a company match

Paid parental leave, tuition reimbursement, and professional development support
