Industrial Maintenance Technician – 1st Shift

Top Job

Located in Champaign, IL

Salary: $20 - $25

Put Your Mechanical Skills to Work on First Shift

A specialized industrial processing facility is hiring an experienced Industrial Maintenance Technician to keep production, processing, packaging, and material-handling equipment operating reliably.

This is a hands-on maintenance position for someone who can diagnose mechanical problems, complete preventive maintenance, and respond effectively when equipment goes down. The strongest candidates will bring previous manufacturing or industrial equipment-repair experience and a practical, problem-solving mindset.

What You’ll Do

• Troubleshoot and repair industrial production and processing equipment

• Complete scheduled preventive maintenance and equipment inspections

• Respond to breakdowns and identify the source of mechanical failures

• Repair or replace bearings, belts, motors, pumps, valves, gearboxes, and related components

• Support basic electrical troubleshooting based on experience

• Maintain packaging and material-handling equipment

• Make mechanical adjustments to improve equipment performance

• Assist with equipment installations, upgrades, and facility repairs

• Document completed maintenance and communicate recurring concerns

• Maintain an organized work area, tools, and replacement parts

What We’re Looking For

• Previous industrial maintenance, manufacturing maintenance, millwright, equipment-repair, or maintenance-mechanic experience

• Strong mechanical troubleshooting and repair ability

• Experience with hand tools, power tools, and industrial maintenance equipment

• Ability to diagnose problems rather than relying entirely on step-by-step instruction

• Ability to read equipment manuals, diagrams, and maintenance documentation

• Basic electrical troubleshooting experience is strongly preferred

• Experience with pumps, motors, compressors, conveyors, valves, or similar processing equipment is valuable

• Dependable attendance and consistent availability for first shift

This is not an entry-level maintenance-helper position. Candidates need enough previous experience to independently complete common mechanical repairs and preventive maintenance.

Physical and Work Environment

• Industrial processing and manufacturing environment

• Extended standing and walking throughout the shift

• Frequent bending, kneeling, crouching, reaching, and climbing

• Regular lifting and handling of tools, parts, and equipment components

• Work around operating machinery, industrial noise, and changing temperatures

• Use of required personal protective equipment

Why Consider This Opportunity?

• Consistent Monday–Friday first-shift schedule

• Pay up to $25.00 per hour based on relevant experience

• Broad exposure to industrial processing, packaging, and material-handling equipment

• Work that supports the recovery and responsible reuse of industrial materials

• Full-time hours and long-term employment potential

• Opportunity to transition directly onto the company’s team after a successful introductory period

• Medical, dental, and vision insurance

• Weekly pay

• Referral bonus
