• Completing scheduled preventive maintenance work orders
• Checking and maintaining fluid levels and lubrication on assigned equipment
• Assisting Maintenance Technicians when needed
• Maintaining a clean and safe work area
• Identifying and suggesting opportunities for improvement
• Working with the Maintenance and Facilities Manager to support and manage the PM program as your skills develop

Qualifications

What We're Looking For

You don't need to know everything on day one—we're looking for someone who is reliable, safety-minded, willing to learn, and comfortable working in a manufacturing environment.

• Ability to read and follow written instructions, diagrams, schedules, and technical procedures
• Basic math and problem-solving skills
• Good communication skills
• Ability to work independently and as part of a team

What To Expect

This is an active, hands-on role in a manufacturing environment. You'll regularly be on your feet, working around production equipment and occasionally bending, climbing, kneeling, crouching, or reaching.

The position also requires the ability to occasionally lift or move up to 50 pounds and work safely around moving mechanical equipment.
