Job description

Automation & Industrial Maintenance Technician
Up to $42.00/hour DOE
Boise, Idaho
Full-Time | Three 12-Hour Shifts Per Week
Build a Career That Lasts.
For more than 50 years, B&D Foods has quietly become one of Idaho's most trusted food manufacturers. While millions enjoy the products we make every day, it's our maintenance team that keeps everything running.
At B&D Foods, you're more than a maintenance technician-you are a problem solver, an equipment expert, and a critical part of our success. Our technicians troubleshoot complex systems, improve equipment reliability, support automation projects, and help drive continuous improvement throughout the plant.
One thing that sets us apart is our people. Our average employee tenure is approximately 10 years, with many employees building careers that span decades. We invest in our team, promote from within whenever possible, and create opportunities to expand your technical skills.
If you're looking for a stable manufacturing career where your work matters, we'd like to meet you.
What You'll Do
No two shifts are exactly alike. You'll work with a wide variety of industrial equipment while helping keep production operating safely and efficiently.
Responsibilities include:
  • Troubleshoot and repair industrial production equipment to minimize downtime.
  • Diagnose mechanical, electrical, hydraulic, pneumatic, and automation-related issues.
  • Perform preventive, predictive, and corrective maintenance on manufacturing equipment.
  • Troubleshoot PLC-controlled equipment, sensors, VFDs, motors, relays, instrumentation, and industrial control systems.
  • Read and interpret electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, blueprints, and technical manuals.
  • Install, modify, repair, and improve manufacturing equipment and production systems.
  • Support automation projects, equipment upgrades, and continuous improvement initiatives.
  • Maintain utilities, boilers, compressors, pumps, conveyors, wastewater systems, and facility equipment.
  • Partner with Production, Engineering, Quality, and Sanitation to improve equipment reliability and plant performance.
  • Identify root causes of equipment failures and help implement permanent corrective actions.
  • Mentor less experienced technicians and contribute to a collaborative maintenance team.
  • Follow all GMP, HACCP, USDA, OSHA, and company safety standards.
What We're Looking For
We're looking for technicians who enjoy solving problems, learning new technologies, and taking pride in quality workmanship.
Successful candidates typically have experience with many of the following:
  • Industrial maintenance
  • Automation systems
  • PLC troubleshooting
  • Allen-Bradley, Siemens, or similar PLC platforms
  • Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs)
  • Industrial electrical systems
  • Motors and motor controls
  • Mechanical maintenance
  • Pneumatic systems
  • Hydraulic systems
  • Pumps, conveyors, gearboxes, bearings, and power transmission
  • Welding and fabrication
  • Preventive maintenance
  • Predictive maintenance
  • Root cause troubleshooting
  • CMMS software
  • Food manufacturing experience (preferred but not required)

Don't meet every qualification?
That's okay.
If you're an experienced industrial maintenance technician with a strong mechanical or electrical background and a willingness to learn, we'd still encourage you to apply.
Why B&D Foods?
At B&D Foods, we believe trust is earned every day-through the way we support one another, solve problems, and invest in our people.
When you join our team, you'll find:
  • Up to $42.00 per hour DOE
  • Three 12-hour shifts each week with built-in days off
  • Stable, year-round employment
  • Comprehensive benefits
  • Opportunities to expand your automation and technical skills
  • A collaborative maintenance team
  • Family-founded company with more than 50 years of manufacturing excellence
  • Average employee tenure of approximately 10 years
  • A workplace where careers are built-not just jobs
Physical Requirements
  • Lift up to 75 pounds.
  • Stand and walk for extended periods on concrete floors.
  • Bend, kneel, squat, climb, and work safely around industrial equipment.
  • Work in varying temperatures typical of a food manufacturing environment.
Ready to Build Something Bigger?
If you're looking for more than just another maintenance job-if you want to work for a company where your skills are respected, your ideas are valued, and your work makes a measurable impact-we'd like to meet you.
Apply today and help keep Idaho's best-kept secret running.
