Job description

Own the Night Shift. Keep the Line Moving.Pro Services Workforce Solutions has partnered with a cellulose insulation manufacturer in Jenison, MI to hire a direct-hire Mechanical Maintenance Technician for the overnight team. This plant runs a single flow line with multiple variations—when one section stops, the whole process pauses. Your work keeps everything humming.A Night in This Role10:00 PM: You arrive to a clean, well-stocked maintenance shop—tools are provided. You scan the CMMS, check the to-do list, and touch base with production. The line is dusty, not greasy, and you're ready for whatever comes.Through the night: A conveyor idler squeals. You swap a bearing and tension a chain. A packaging unit shows an over-amp alert—using the HMI, you confirm status, then verify power flow, contacts, relays, and motor starters under LOTO. Later, a hydraulic hose on a packaging system (up to 1,300 PSI) seeps; you make a replacement hose, chase valve lights to the fault, pull a cylinder, and bleed the system during a planned stop. Between calls, you grease, walk the lines, and chip away at CMMS work orders. If a job is bigger than one person, you call for backup—fast, clear communication keeps production in the loop.6:00 AM: The line is ready for handoff. You wrap up notes for the day crew and head out—most nights, you can brush the dust off and go straight home.What You’ll Work OnMechanical repair and upkeep on rollers, chains, bearings, shafts and seals, and gearboxes.Maintenance of conveyors, shredders, packaging lines, and robot cells.MIG welding for plant improvements and repairs (guards, doors, bracing, brackets; non-structural).Hydraulics on packaging equipment: hose and O-ring replacements, leak fixes, making hoses, tracing issues via valve lights, cylinder pulls, and system bleeding during shutdowns (systems up to 1,300 PSI).Electrical triage: distinguish mechanical vs. electrical motor issues; verify contacts and power flow; replace contactors, relays, and motor starters under LOTO; use the HMI as a troubleshooting tool (e.g., clearing and monitoring over-amp alerts).Proactive rounds between calls: line walks, lubrication, CMMS work orders, and tight coordination with production.Who Thrives HereYou are thorough, self-directed, and hands-on.
