Keep the Machines Running and the Flavor Flowing! At Sandridge Crafted Foods, we believe fresh food deserves top-tier craftsmanship—both in the kitchen and on the production floor. That’s where you come in. We’re looking for a hands-on, mechanically-minded, cool-under-pressure Production Maintenance Technician to join our team of behind-the-scenes pros who keep our systems humming, our equipment in check, and our production on point. If you're the kind of person who enjoys solving puzzles, can spot a problem before it becomes one, and takes pride in keeping things running like a well-oiled machine, you’re exactly who we want on our crew.

Responsibilities: What You’ll Be Doing

1. Perform preventative maintenance and repairs on a variety of food production machinery, systems, and equipment.
2. Troubleshoot mechanical, electrical, and pneumatic issues quickly and effectively—downtime is your enemy, and you don’t let it win.
3. Respond to urgent maintenance calls and production interruptions with confidence and urgency.
4. Read and interpret blueprints, schematics, and manuals like a boss.
5. Use tools of the trade to get things done right the first time.
6. Document maintenance work, part usage, and system updates to keep things organized and audit-ready.
7. Collaborate with production staff and leadership to ensure minimal disruption and maximum performance.
8. Maintain a safe, clean, and efficient workspace—you know that a tidy shop is a productive shop.

Qualifications: What We’re Looking For

1. A solid mechanical background, ideally with 2+ years of industrial or manufacturing maintenance experience.
2. Working knowledge of electrical, hydraulic, pneumatic, and mechanical systems.
3. Ability to troubleshoot and repair motors, conveyors, pumps, gearboxes, and other food production equipment.
4. Comfortable with tools, ladders, lifts, and getting your hands dirty.
5. Willingness to work flexible hours, including nights, weekends, and on-call shifts when needed.
6. Safety-first mindset with knowledge of OSHA regulations and best practices.
7. Bonus points if you’ve worked in a food processing environment or have a maintenance certification, but attitude and skills matter most.
