Industrial Maintenance Technician (Electro-Mechanical)

Shape the night. Support the line. Keep production moving.

Nearly a century after a small Rhode Island tire shop opened its doors, Teknor Apex has grown into a global custom compounder with nine U.S. sites and operations in Belgium, Singapore, Germany, and China. Still privately held and guided by the Fain family, we build long-term relationships with employees and customers alike—because, as Jon Fain says, “Manufacturing is a team sport and we work together to achieve our goals.”

A night in this role
