Electromechanical Reliability Technician

Is this you?

• Do you thrive on chasing down a stubborn fault—electrical or mechanical—and restoring a line to full speed?
• Can you read a schematic, meter a circuit from 24V to 480V three-phase, and make a safe, clean repair?
• Are you as comfortable with a torque wrench and grease gun as you are with a multimeter and megger?
• Do you naturally organize your work, communicate clearly, and move with urgency when production is at stake?

What you'll do

• Diagnose electro-mechanical problems on production equipment and supporting systems.
• Strip down malfunctioning assemblies, pinpoint failure modes, and install repaired or new parts.
• Carry out scheduled PM on machines, facility systems, and building components.
• Inspect, clean, lubricate, and fine-tune bearings, shafts, gears, and other moving parts.
• Troubleshoot, install, and repair electrical gear—transformers, machine wiring, controls, and electronic devices.
• Install and service process piping, hydraulic circuits, and pneumatic equipment.
• Repair or replace valves, gauges, pressure regulators, and related devices.
• Respond quickly to breakdowns to get machines back online with minimal downtime.
• Spot potential maintenance risks, communicate promptly, and implement corrective actions.
• Plan your tasks and complete maintenance safely and within set timelines.

Must-haves

• Working knowledge of 24V–480V systems and three-phase power.
• Ability to read and apply electrical drawings/schematics.
• Proficiency with diagnostic instruments (multimeters, meggers).
• Confidence using power tools such as drills, grinders, and reciprocating saws.
• Strong mechanical aptitude and broad hand-tool familiarity.
• Sharp troubleshooting and problem-solving skills.
• Ability to prioritize and act fast during downtime events.
• Self-motivated; takes initiative when an issue surfaces.
• Dependable teammate with clear written and verbal communication.
• Organized, methodical, and quick to learn new processes/equipment.
• Positive outlook and desire to deepen technical expertise.
• Willing to work occasional extended hours and some weekends as needed.
• Valid driver’s license.
