You’ll have a consistent Monday–Friday, 1st-shift schedule, giving you predictable hours and your evenings and weekends free.

• Diagnose equipment problems and make repairs to minimize production downtime.

• Perform scheduled preventive maintenance and document completed work.
• Repair, replace, and adjust mechanical components such as bearings, belts, chains, motors, pumps, and related components.
• Troubleshoot and repair basic electrical components, controls, sensors, and wiring.
• Work with production personnel to respond to equipment problems and restore machinery to operation.
• Maintain a clean, safe, and organized maintenance area.
• Follow all company safety procedures and maintenance best practices.
• Assist with equipment installations, modifications, and continuous-improvement projects as needed.
