Requirements:
  • High school diploma or equivalent required.
  • 5+ years of industrial maintenance experience with a 2-year technical degree/certificate, or 7+ years of relevant industrial maintenance experience.
  • Strong multi-craft maintenance background with demonstrated ability to troubleshoot complex mechanical and electrical problems independently.
  • Experience with PLC/controls troubleshooting, electrical diagnostics, and reading electrical, hydraulic, and mechanical schematics.
  • Strong root-cause analysis and problem-solving skills with the ability to identify equipment issues and develop effective corrective actions.
  • Ability to work independently, prioritize multiple tasks, communicate effectively, and mentor less-experienced maintenance team members.
Additional Qualifications:
  • Experience with automated manufacturing equipment such as CNC machines, robotic equipment, laser cutting systems, paint-line equipment, welding equipment, or powered industrial equipment is highly valued.
  • Welding experience is preferred.
  • Experience with equipment reliability, preventive maintenance, and continuous/process improvement.
  • Must be comfortable working with maintenance equipment and in tight spaces and at elevated heights, including ladders and lifts up to 35 feet.
  • Ability to lift and maneuver materials and supplies weighing up to 40 lbs.
  • A valid driver's license is required.
  • Must be willing to complete additional training on automated equipment and facility systems as needed.
