Step into a day as our Industrial Maintenance Mechanic
The plant hums to life. You’ve already reviewed overnight CMMS work orders, prioritized a predictive task on a conveyor gearbox, and lined up parts for a scheduled motor swap. A production line pauses—an operator flags a sensor fault—and you’re on it, reading the schematic, tracing a control circuit, and returning the line to service with minimal downtime. By mid-shift, you’ve completed a LOTO procedure for a pump inspection, documented everything cleanly, and partnered with engineering on a small modification that boosts reliability. Before you clock out, you do a 5S sweep, update leadership on a recurring issue, and prep for a weekend PM blitz.
What you’ll take ownership of
- Keeping manufacturing equipment and facility systems running through preventive, predictive, and corrective maintenance.
- Diagnosing and repairing mechanical, electrical, pneumatic, and hydraulic issues across motors, conveyors, pumps, gearboxes, and more.
- Executing installations, inspections, and maintenance that reduce unplanned downtime.
- Interpreting electrical schematics, mechanical drawings, blueprints, and technical manuals to solve problems quickly.
- Handling core electrical troubleshooting: motors, sensors, switches, relays, and control circuits.
- Supporting equipment installs, modifications, and continuous improvement projects that elevate reliability and efficiency.
- Capturing accurate work details in our CMMS and communicating equipment status with production and leadership.
- Upholding 5S, OSHA, and LOTO standards; using the right PPE every time and modeling a safety-first mindset.
- Collaborating across production, engineering, and other teams; responding to emergencies when needed.
- Showing dependable attendance and flexibility for overtime or alternate shifts as operations require.
What you bring
- High school diploma or GED (technical/vocational training preferred).
- At least 3 years of industrial maintenance experience in a manufacturing setting.
