Job description

Industrial Sewing Machine Maintenance Specialist

Location: Skokie, IL

Compensation: $25.00 – $27.00 per hour (negotiable for the right candidate)

Schedule: Monday–Friday, 6:30 AM – 3:00 PM; occasional late shifts and some Saturdays as needed

A Day in the Life

At 6:30 AM, you step onto the production floor of a manufacturer of industrial protective safety apparel. Your first stop: the sewing lines. You scan the maintenance dashboard, listen to operators’ overnight notes, and dive straight into a quick tune-up on an industrial sewing machine to keep the morning ramp-up smooth and safe. As the day unfolds, you balance rapid-response fixes with scheduled preventive maintenance—swapping worn parts before they fail, tightening mechanisms, aligning feeds, and documenting your work so the next audit is effortless.

After lunch, you knock out a few facility items—touch-up painting in a high-traffic corridor and a simple door repair—before conferring with a vendor on a cost-effective parts quote. You reconcile min/max levels for critical spares and submit a PO for approval. A brief walk-through with Safety confirms readiness for an upcoming inspection, where your records, ergonomic improvements, and fire-safety checks speak for themselves. If production calls, you triage: safety and uptime first, always.

What You’ll Own
  • Troubleshoot, repair, and fine-tune industrial sewing machines and related production equipment quickly and safely.
  • Execute preventive maintenance on equipment and facility systems to minimize downtime and future issues.
  • Handle general building upkeep, including basic painting and minor repairs.
  • Build effective vendor/contractor relationships, balancing quality, responsiveness, and cost.
  • Follow a preventive maintenance schedule and keep accurate maintenance records.
  • Manage min/max spare-part inventories and order supplies to keep lines running.
  • Obtain vendor quotes and process purchases through PO approval.
  • Support audits and inspections; help ensure compliance with applicable state and safety requirements.
  • Assist with fire safety, building engineering assessments, insurance needs, ergonomics, and security.
  • Respond to urgent equipment/facility issues and prioritize by safety and production impact.
  • Jump in cross-functionally and take on additional duties as needed.
Your Background
  • High school diploma or equivalent required; mechanical/technical training preferred.
  • Bilingual: Spanish / English speaking.
  • 2+ years in a Maintenance or Facilities Technician capacity preferred.
  • Exposure to textile or manufacturing environments a plus; sewing machine repair experience highly desired (not mandatory).
  • General building maintenance experience preferred.
  • Mechanical troubleshooting mindset; solid problem-solving skills.
  • Organized, self-driven, dependable, and accountable.
