JOB SUMMARY

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.

The ideal candidate will have strong working knowledge of industrial boilers, air compressor systems, hot oil systems, chillers, hydraulics, extrusion equipment, grinding/crushing systems, PLC troubleshooting, and flame safety systems.

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.
• Troubleshoot programmable logic controls including understanding of ladder logic.
• Perform 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.
• Work knowledge of motors, drives, control wiring, and PLCs required.

Physical Demands: In this role, you must be able to lift 50 pounds, work from heights, stand for extended periods, and climb ladders.

Work Environment: This job takes place in and around a manufacturing facility. The role will be exposed to a wide variety of environmental situations, including a range of temperatures. The position requires a significant amount of time wearing a harness in a boom lift, up to 30+ feet off the ground. Work may occasionally take place in confined spaces, and employees will be expected to wear the appropriate PPE.

  • Industrial boilers
  • Air compressor systems
  • Hot oil systems
