Your experience deserves more than another maintenance job.

You know how to solve the problems others can’t—and how to prevent them from happening again. At GLK Sauerkraut, we value technicians who take ownership, share ideas, and make equipment and operations better.

Join our night-shift maintenance team in Bear Creek, Wisconsin. As part of Fermented Food Holdings (FFH), GLK Sauerkraut makes premium fermented foods enjoyed across North America. Bring your technical expertise to a hands‑on role with meaningful impact and potential future leadership growth.

What You’ll Get

• Sign-on bonus and relocation assistance available for qualified candidates
• Medical, dental, vision and life insurance; 401(k) with company match
• Paid holidays, paid vacation and opportunities for overtime
• Technical development, equipment improvement projects and potential future leadership opportunities

What You’ll Do

• Diagnose complex electrical, mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic and automation issues
• Troubleshoot PLCs, HMIs, VFDs, sensors and automated production/packaging equipment
• Lead root-cause failure analysis, implement lasting fixes and reduce unplanned downtime
• Drive preventive and predictive maintenance; support equipment upgrades, rebuilds and installations
• Partner with production and quality teams; mentor developing technicians
• Document work, follow lockout/tagout procedures and lead by example on safety

What We’re Looking For

• Approximately 5+ years of industrial maintenance experience

• Independently diagnose complex failures and read electrical schematics; PLC programming and robotics experience a plus

This is a hands‑on technical position, not an immediate supervisory role. Technicians who demonstrate strong performance , accountability and leadership potential may be considered for future night‑shift maintenance leadership opportunities. Advancement is not guaranteed.

Your expertise matters here. Help strengthen equipment reliability, contribute ideas that improve operations and build the next chapter of your career with a team that depends on skilled maintenance professionals.
