Keep a high-throughput manufacturing site running strong in Manchester, PA. As our Industrial Maintenance Mechanic, you’ll be the go-to pro ensuring equipment reliability, minimizing downtime, and safeguarding a safe, efficient operation.
A Day in the Role
Start your shift by reviewing work orders and preventive maintenance tasks. You’ll move from line to line performing inspections, lubrication, calibrations, and adjustments. When a machine trips a fault, you’ll jump in—diagnose electrical, mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic, or HVAC issues—and get production moving again. You’ll collaborate with Production, Engineering, and Quality to fine-tune performance, document what you’ve done, and plan improvements for the next run. Some days include installing or modifying equipment, assisting with testing and startup, or supporting shutdowns, changeovers, and special projects. Throughout, you’ll keep your area organized and always follow company safety, food safety, quality, and environmental procedures.
