2nd Shift Maintenance Technician

#jobalert | DIRECT HIRE | 2nd Shift | Maintenance Technician | Manufacturing | SE Kansas

An established manufacturing operation is adding a Maintenance Technician on nights to keep its production equipment running. You troubleshoot and repair mechanical, electrical, hydraulic, and pneumatic failures across the plant — motors, conveyors, presses, pneumatic tools, and production machines — and get lines back up fast. Pay moves up a posted, skill-based ladder as you add electrical, PLC, and advanced-diagnostic capability.

• Anticipated $17.60–$27.85 per hour, based on experience and demonstrated skill level
• Pay advances on a defined skill ladder (electrical, PLC, and advanced diagnostics move you up)
• Full suite of benefits, 401K w/match, PTO/Holiday
• Typical shift 5:00PM - 3:30AM; maintenance typically runs ~50 hours/week on 10-hour shifts

Overview

• Keep production equipment running — troubleshoot and repair mechanical, electrical, hydraulic, and pneumatic failures with a root-cause mindset
• Diagnose by observation — listen to and inspect running equipment to find the source of trouble before it becomes downtime
• Repair or replace defective parts: bearings, belts, chains, motors, control circuits, and structural components
• Use shop tools (welder, drill press, grinder, metalworking tools) to fabricate and repair parts
• Read wiring diagrams and prints to guide repairs; work safely around energized systems
• Log work and initiate parts/purchase requisitions to keep preventive maintenance on schedule

Preferred Skills and Experience

• High school diploma or equivalent
• Mechanical and basic electrical foundation (strongly preferred) — bearings, belts, chains, gearboxes, alignment; motors, relays, contactors, sensors
• Troubleshooting across mechanical, electrical, hydraulic, and pneumatic systems (strongly preferred)
• Proper multimeter use and ability to read wiring diagrams and control circuits
• Comfortable and safe working around energized systems
• Basic PLC/VFD interaction and automation exposure (trainable; a plus)
