Job description

We are seeking a highly skilled, well-rounded Senior Industrial Maintenance Technician to support our composite decking manufacturing facility. This is a hands‑on, boots‑on‑the‑ground role requiring extensive experience across multiple critical plant systems — not a single‑discipline specialist.

This position plays a key role in keeping both plant utilities and production equipment operating safely and efficiently. This is not a single‑system boiler technician position. Candidates must have experience across multiple plant utility systems.

Key Duties

• Repair and maintain preventive maintenance on all mechanical systems including weight feeders, scales, conveyors, hot oil, steam, hydraulic, and pneumatic systems and equipment.
• Repair all electrical, electronic systems including servo equipment, photo eyes, electronic sensors, temperature controls and combustion equipment.
• Troubleshooting of programmable logic controls including understanding of ladder logic.
• Responsible for metal fabrication, machining, facility maintenance and preventative maintenance to the facility and all equipment.
• Participate in the management and maintenance of the parts inventory system, including researching equipment to determine parts required.
• Support engineering in the improvement and/or development and implementation of new products and processes.
• Perform housekeeping duties to keep plant appearance at an acceptable and safe manner.
• Working knowledge of motors, drives, control wiring and PLC’s required.
