    Job Description

    Join the Reliability Mission

    Do you get energized by tough problems—like tracking a recurring hydraulic leak back to a misaligned component, documenting the root cause, and preventing it from ever returning? If so, your mindset belongs here.

    Why This Role Matters

    Our injection molding operation depends on precise mechatronic systems, automated cells, and facility controls. Your mission: increase reliability, protect operators and equipment, and reduce downtime through disciplined PDCA problem-solving and meticulous maintenance execution.

    What You'll Do

    • Lead investigations into underperforming or failed manufacturing assets to identify root causes and implement long-term fixes.
    • Plan and perform preventive maintenance and corrective repairs on mechanical, electrical, pneumatic, and hydraulic systems across molding presses, robots, and material handling equipment.
    • Support general building and facility repairs, including maintenance of critical systems tied to manufacturing facility controls.
    • Use Plan-Do-Check-Act to structure troubleshooting, validate results, and avoid repeat issues.
    • Rely on sight, sound, and measurement to diagnose faults; dismantle equipment to access and correct problems.
    • Measure parts for wear and misalignment; replace worn drive and hydraulic components.
    • Detect damaged air and hydraulic piping; measure, cut, thread, and install replacements.
    • Start and restart equipment post-repair to verify performance before releasing assets back to production, minimizing downtime.
    • Execute routine and preventive maintenance on machines, auxiliary equipment, automation cells, and facility systems.
    • Follow all safety regulations; complete safety inspections and propose risk-reduction actions for people and equipment.
    • Document findings and actions during PMs and repairs for traceability and continuous improvement.
    • Assist with maintenance for tooling and production equipment to ensure application readiness.
    • Coach and mentor peers to elevate team capability.
    • Demonstrate reliable, punctual attendance and contribute to additional tasks that enable organizational success.
