Job description

Keep production moving. Own the uptime.When a critical line pauses, you bridge the gap between mechanical systems and electrical controls—finding the fault, fixing it safely, and getting product flowing again.Picture thisA sensor trips, a drive faults, and the conveyor stops. You pull the drawings, trace the I/O, meter the circuit from 24V through 480V three-phase, confirm the culprit, swap the component, and verify operation. Before the end of shift, you complete scheduled PM on facility systems, tune a regulator on a pneumatic manifold, and log work performed—organized, safe, on time.Your impactTackle mechanical and electrical troubleshooting on production machinery and supporting equipment.Break down failed equipment, identify root cause, and install repaired or new parts.Perform preventive maintenance on machines, facility systems, and building components.Inspect, clean, lubricate, and adjust bearings, shafts, gears, and other moving components.Install, troubleshoot, and repair electrical systems—transformers, machine wiring, controls, and electronic elements.Install and service piping, hydraulic systems, and pneumatic equipment.Repair or replace valves, gauges, pressure regulators, and associated devices.Respond rapidly to breakdowns to minimize downtime and restore operation.Identify potential maintenance issues early, communicate clearly, and drive corrective actions.Plan work effectively and complete maintenance safely within required timelines.QualificationsProficient with 24V–480V electrical systems, including three-phase power.Skilled at reading and applying electrical schematics.Experienced using multimeters and meggers.Comfortable with power tools (drills, grinders, reciprocating saws) and a wide range of hand tools.Strong mechanical aptitude and disciplined work habits.Excellent troubleshooting and problem-solving skills.Ability to prioritize and act with urgency during downtime.Self-directed, takes initiative when issues arise.Dependable teammate with clear written and verbal communication.Organized, methodical, and quick to learn new equipment and processes.Positive attitude and commitment to expanding technical knowledge.Available for occasional extended hours and weekend work as needed.Valid driver’s license.Preferred experiencePLC-controlled machinery troubleshooting.Industrial three-phase electrical equipment.MIG or TIG welding.Hydraulic and pneumatic system maintenance.Mastery areasPLC troubleshooting and fault isolationPreventive maintenance program creationComprehensive equipment troubleshootingElectrical schematic and wiring diagram literacyFacilities maintenance experienceElectrical troubleshooting and repairStructured troubleshooting techniquesMechanical troubleshootingPneumatics experience and diagnostics120/208/240/480 VAC systemsMotor repair, replacement, and maintenanceConveyor chain replacementHydraulics experienceElectrical systems diagnostics and repairElectrical installationIndustrial automation equipment troubleshootingPLC programming familiarityPLC wiring and terminationsHigh-voltage systemsPneumatics troubleshootingGeneral maintenance and repairIndustrial electrical backgroundLift truck (forklift) repair and maintenanceMechanical assembly skillsIndustrial electrical systems and controlsHydraulic system componentsHeavy equipment electrical diagnosticsEquipment diagnostics and troubleshootingMechanical component repairCrane and lifting equipment systemsLockout/Tagout (LOTO)Electrical schematic readingEquipment installation and wiringEquipment repair and maintenanceEquipment installation projectsManufacturing environment experienceBlueprint readingShop-floor tech you'll encounterMIG weldersTIG weldersIndustrial control platformsVariable Frequency Drives (VFDs)Extrusion machinesAllen‑Bradley PLCsConveyor systemsServo motorsHydraulic shearing machinesBand saws
