Job description

Keep Industrial Equipment Running. Build a Career That Lasts.


At Fuji Vegetable Oil, we aren't looking for someone who simply changes parts—we're looking for a skilled industrial troubleshooter who enjoys solving problems, improving equipment reliability, and keeping a world-class manufacturing facility operating safely and efficiently.


If you're experienced with electrical systems, PLCs, instrumentation, motors, drives, and industrial process equipment—and you're looking for a stable company that invests in its employees—we'd like to meet you.


This position is for our 3:00 PM – 11:00 PM shift, supporting maintenance operations in our food-grade vegetable oil refinery.


Why Join Fuji?Exceptional Benefits
  • $10,000 Sign-On Bonus (Qualified Candidates)
  • Competitive Hourly Pay
  • Semi-Annual Performance Bonus

  • Company-funded 12.5% 401(k) Contribution
  • Medical, Dental & Vision Insurance (Day One)
  • Company-Paid Life Insurance
  • Short & Long-Term Disability
  • Employee Assistance Program
  • Telehealth
  • Paid Vacation & Holidays
  • Uniforms & PPE Provided
  • Annual Boot Allowance
  • Ongoing Technical Training & Career Growth
Schedule 3:00 PM – 11:00 PM

Monday through Friday (or current maintenance schedule)

• Occasional overtime available


What You'll Do

You'll maintain and troubleshoot the electrical and instrumentation systems that keep our refinery operating.

Responsibilities include:

  • Troubleshoot electrical distribution and industrial control systems
  • Diagnose motors, motor controls, VFDs, MCCs and 480V equipment
  • Troubleshoot PLC-controlled equipment
  • Maintain and calibrate process instrumentation
  • Support DCS operations

    • Pneumatics
    • Process equipment
  • Ability to interpret electrical drawings
  • Strong mechanical aptitude
  • Commitment to safety
  • Experience in food manufacturing, refining, chemical processing, paper, power generation or similar industrial environments preferred

This Is NOT An Entry-Level Electrician Position

Successful candidates have experience in industrial manufacturing and can confidently troubleshoot equipment to identify the root cause of failures.


Why Fuji?

At Fuji Vegetable Oil, you'll join a financially stable, growing manufacturer where your technical expertise matters.

You'll work alongside experienced maintenance professionals, support highly automated processing equipment, and build a long-term career with one of the strongest benefits packages in the region.
