Advanced Industrial Maintenance Role – Manufacturing Environment

Poclain Hydraulics is seeking an experienced Senior Industrial Maintenance Technician to support our hydraulic motor manufacturing operations. This is not an entry-level maintenance position. We are looking for a highly skilled industrial maintenance professional with extensive hands‑on experience troubleshooting and repairing complex manufacturing equipment in a heavy industrial environment.

Our facility includes CNC machining, assembly, heat treat, paint, and materials operations. The ideal candidate has a strong industrial maintenance background supporting production‑critical manufacturing equipment and thrives in a fast‑paced manufacturing environment where uptime, reliability, and responsiveness are essential.

What You’ll Do

• Troubleshoot, diagnose, and repair complex industrial manufacturing equipment and systems
• Support CNC machining centers, lathes, grinders, assembly equipment, heat treat furnaces, paint systems, conveyors, and facility infrastructure
• Perform advanced troubleshooting on:
  • Mechanical systems
  • Industrial electrical systems
  • PLC‑controlled equipment
  • Hydraulic and pneumatic systems
  • Servo motors, drives, sensors, and controls
• Execute preventive and predictive maintenance activities to minimize downtime and improve equipment reliability
• Lead or support machine rebuilds, upgrades, installations, and continuous improvement projects
• Utilize CMMS systems to manage work orders, document repairs, and track maintenance activity
• Perform root cause analysis and implement corrective actions to prevent recurring failures
• Support emergency equipment repairs in a production-driven environment
• Maintain safe work practices including lockout/tagout and OSHA compliance
• Provide technical guidance and mentorship to less experienced maintenance personnel

Required Experience & Qualifications

• Strong Industrial Maintenance Experience Required
• Minimum 7–10 years of industrial maintenance experience in a manufacturing or heavy industrial environment
• Demonstrated experience maintaining and repairing production equipment in an industrial manufacturing facility
• Extensive troubleshooting experience with:
  • CNC machine tools
  • Industrial electrical systems
  • Hydraulic and pneumatic systems
  • PLC‑controlled equipment
  • Automated manufacturing equipment
• Ability to read and interpret:
  • Electrical schematics
  • Hydraulic and pneumatic diagrams
  • Mechanical drawings and technical manuals
• Strong understanding of industrial maintenance best practices and equipment reliability principles
• Experience performing equipment rebuilds, installations, and major repairs
• Ability to work independently with minimal supervision in a fast‑paced manufacturing environment

Preferred Qualifications

• Associate degree or technical certification in Industrial Maintenance, Electro-Mechanical Technology, Electrical Maintenance, or related field
• Experience with vacuum heat treat systems or furnace equipment
• Welding and fabrication experience
• Experience in lean manufacturing or continuous improvement environments

What Sets This Role Apart

This position is heavily focused on true industrial maintenance work in a manufacturing environment — not facilities‑only maintenance. The successful candidate must be comfortable troubleshooting complex production equipment under real manufacturing demands where downtime directly impacts operations.

Why Join Poclain?

• Stable global manufacturing company with a strong U.S. presence
• Advanced manufacturing environment with diverse industrial equipment and technologies
• Opportunity to directly impact plant performance and reliability

Work Environment & Physical Requirements

This position works in a manufacturing environment with exposure to moving machinery, industrial noise, heat, oils, lubricants, chemicals, and electrical systems.

The role regularly requires standing, walking, bending, climbing, lifting, and using tools and diagnostic equipment. Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable qualified individuals with disabilities to perform the essential functions of the position.
