  • Document maintenance work accurately in the CMMS system.

  • Partner with operations to improve corrugator reliability, uptime, and preventive maintenance effectiveness.

  • Follow OSHA and Hood Container safety standards, including Lockout/Tagout (LOTO).

  • (Preferred) Support vision systems, glue control systems, and automation tied to corrugator operations.

  • Perform other duties as assigned.

What You BringRequired Experience & Education

  • High school diploma or GED required.

  • Minimum 3 years of hands-on maintenance experience in a corrugated packaging plant, with direct corrugator experience required.

  • Proven ability to troubleshoot live production equipment.

  • Solid understanding of electrical testing, meters, and schematics.

  • Experience with hydraulics, pneumatics, motors, drives, and PLC-controlled machinery.

  • Comfortable using power tools and performing welding, basic fabrication, HVAC, and electrical troubleshooting.

  • Basic computer skills for documentation and reporting.

Physical & Work Requirements

  • Ability to lift up to 50 lbs. repeatedly.

  • Ability to bend, kneel, climb, and work overhead.

  • Comfortable working around moving machinery, heat, cold (-20°F to 125°F), and heights up to 38 feet.

  • Willingness to work overtime as needed.

Why You’ll Love Working at Hood Container
