Maintenance Technician Manufacturing

Keep the Heart of the Plant Running

Are you the kind of technician who takes pride in keeping critical systems online, production moving, and downtime near zero? We’re looking for a hands-on Facilities Maintenance Technician who thrives in a fast-paced manufacturing environment and understands that utilities are the backbone of operational excellence.

This is not a “change light bulbs and patch drywall” role. This is mission-critical infrastructure.

What You’ll Own

You will be the guardian of our plant’s core utility systems — ensuring uptime, reliability, and safety across the facility.

Utilities & Critical Systems

• Maintain and troubleshoot compressed air systems (compressors, dryers, receivers, distribution piping)
• Perform preventive and corrective maintenance on industrial chillers, cooling towers, pumps, and process water systems
• Maintain HVAC systems including rooftop units, air handlers, exhaust systems, and environmental controls
• Respond rapidly to utility failures to minimize production downtime
• Monitor system performance and drive energy efficiency improvements

Maintenance & Infrastructure

• Perform maintenance and repairs on building systems including lighting, electrical distribution (within scope), plumbing, walls, floors, and ceilings
• Maintain dock doors, dock levelers, seals, and associated equipment
• Support installation and modification of facility equipment and infrastructure
• Coordinate with contractors and vendors for specialized repairs and projects

Your Impact

In this role, you directly influence:

• Production uptime
• Regulatory compliance (OSHA, FDA, SQF, environmental)
• Equipment reliability
• Energy efficiency
• Overall plant safety culture

When utilities fail, production stops. Your expertise keeps operations running.

What You Bring

Experience

• 3–7 years of maintenance experience in a manufacturing environment (plastics, injection molding, or blow molding preferred)
• Hands-on experience with compressed air systems, chillers, and HVAC
• Strong preventive and corrective maintenance background

Technical Capability

• Proven troubleshooting skills across mechanical, electrical, and utility systems
• Working knowledge of pumps, motors, valves, and control systems
• Ability to read blueprints, schematics, and technical manuals
• Experience using CMMS systems preferred

Professional Strengths

• Strong problem-solving and analytical skills
• Ability to prioritize work in a fast-paced manufacturing environment
• Effective communication and teamwork skills
• Self-motivated with strong attention to detail

Work Environment

• Manufacturing plant setting with exposure to machinery, noise, and varying temperatures
• Physical requirements include standing, walking, bending, climbing ladders, working in confined spaces, and lifting up to 50 lbs
• May require occasional overtime, weekend, or on-call support

If you take pride in keeping mission-critical systems operating at peak performance and want to play a vital role in plant reliability and safety, we encourage you to apply.

You should be proficient in:

• HVAC
• PLC Troubleshooting Skills
• Pneumatics Experience
• Hydraulics Experience
• Electrical Troubleshooting
• Electrical Repair
• Tape Measure Reading
• Lockout/Tagout (LOTO)
• Electrical Schematic Reading
