Job description

Job Type
Full-time
Description
Run it. Fix it. Keep it moving.
The Ohio Art Company is expanding operations in Bryan by relocating can-making equipment from our New Jersey facility- and we're looking for a skilled Equipment Operator - Press Mechanic to take ownership of that equipment on the floor.
This is a hands-on, hybrid role-not a traditional maintenance position. You'll operate the equipment while also serving as the primary mechanical expert, responsible for keeping presses running efficiently, troubleshooting issues, and maintaining quality in a fast-paced production environment.
If you're someone who doesn't just run machines-but understands how they work and how to fix them-this is the role for you.
Requirements
Why This Role Stands Out
  • Be part of a major transition - Help bring can-making operations in-house to Bryan
  • Own the equipment - Operate, maintain, and troubleshoot press systems directly on the floor
  • High-impact role - Your skill directly affects uptime, efficiency, and product quality
  • Growth opportunity - Build specialized expertise in metal packaging and advance your career

What You'll Do
  • Set up and operate press and forming equipment according to company standards
  • Maintain machinery in working condition (lubrication, cleaning, replacing worn components, tooling adjustments)
  • Troubleshoot mechanical issues quickly to minimize downtime and maintain efficiency
  • Perform changeovers and setups following approved procedures and production requirements
  • Ensure all safety devices, guards, and controls are functioning properly
  • Monitor production to maintain quality standards and minimize scrap
  • Use gauges and inspection tools to verify product conformance
  • Respond to jams, line stoppages, and mechanical issues safely and effectively
  • Train and support operators and packers on proper procedures, safety, and efficiency
  • Recommend improvements to productivity, quality, and equipment performance
  • Complete required documentation including inspection and production reports

What We're Looking For
  • 3-5+ years of experience operating and troubleshooting manufacturing equipment
  • Strong mechanical aptitude- you can diagnose, adjust, and repair equipment issues
  • Experience with presses, metal forming, stamping, or similar equipment preferred
  • Ability to read and interpret technical manuals, schematics, and setup instructions
  • Hands-on experience with tools, components, and machine adjustments
  • Strong attention to quality, safety, and efficiency standards
  • Proven reliability and ability to work in a fast-paced production environment
  • Experience training or leading operators is a plus

What This Role Is (and isn't)
  • ?? Is: A hands-on operator role with strong mechanical responsibility
  • ?? Is: Focused on keeping production running at peak performance
  • ? Is Not: A traditional maintenance department position

You'll be embedded in production- owning the performance of your equipment every day.
Schedule & Benefits
  • Overtime opportunities on Fridays as needed
  • 4-Day Work Week (Monday-Thursday)
  • Competitive pay with advancement potential
  • Full benefits package:
    • Medical, Dental, Vision
    • FREE Life Insurance
    • Paid Vacation + 11 Paid Holidays
    • Profit-Sharing Opportunities
    • 401(k) with guaranteed 4.5% company contribution + match

Why Apply Now?
We're moving quickly- equipment relocation is underway, and we need experienced, mechanically driven individuals ready to step in and take ownership.
This is a unique opportunity to:
  • Work with proven can-making equipment
  • Play a key role in launching operations in Bryan
  • Build a long-term career in a specialized manufacturing environment
