Ink Manufacturing Maintenance Mechanic


Location: Quad – CR/T Facility, Hartford, WI

Pay: $28.00–$32.00/hr (based on experience)

Schedule: Monday–Friday, 8-hour shifts + overtime as needed

Note: This position is located at Quad’s CR/T (Chemical Research & Technology) site—not the print plant off Hwy. 60.


About the Role


Join a specialized team at Quad’s CR/T facility, where we manufacture the resins and inks that power our printing operations nationwide. As a Maintenance Mechanic, you’ll play a key role in keeping our chemical processing equipment running safely and efficiently. This is a hands-on role in a dynamic industrial environment—not a traditional print shop.


What You’ll Do



+ Maintain and repair equipment, including rotary vane pumps, pneumatic pumps, electric motors, belt drives, augers, gearboxes, and vacuum pumps.


+ Install new machinery and support process upgrades.


+ Develop and follow SOPs for proactive preventive maintenance.


+ Use technical documentation to ensure proper tensions, speeds, tolerances, pressures, and flows.


+ Support a safe work environment through lockout/tagout procedures and basic electrical safety.



What You’ll Bring



+ Associate’s degree in a related field or 5+ years of mechanical experience.


+ Experience rebuilding rotary vane pumps.


+ Strong skills in pipe fitting, hydraulics, pneumatics, welding, and blueprint reading.


+ Familiarity with metric measurements and mechanical tolerances.


+ Basic understanding of electrical theory and safety protocols.


+ Ability to work at heights and operate high-lift equipment.


+ Must have or be willing to acquire basic hand tools.


+ Physical ability to lift to 50 lbs, stand for long periods, and perform repetitive hand/wrist movements.



Preferred Qualifications



+ Prior experience in a manufacturing or industrial environment.


+ Familiarity with ink or chemical processing equipment is a plus.



What We Offer



+ Competitive hourly pay with overtime opportunities.


+ Comprehensive benefits: medical, dental, vision, disability, and life insurance.


+ Paid time off, paid parental leave, and short-term disability.


+ 401(k) with annual discretionary company match.


+ Adoption & surrogacy support, pet insurance, and more.


+ A culture that values innovation, safety, and long-term career growth.
