Your mission: zero unplanned downtime
At 2:37 am, production calls—output is slipping on a die cutter. You arrive, read the symptoms, pull the schematics, and methodically isolate the fault. Minutes later, product is flowing and operators are back on pace. If this sounds like the kind of impact you want at a Fortune 500 corrugated packaging plant in Arlington, TX, we want to meet you.
Who we are
We’re a nationwide leader with 16,000+ employees serving a resilient, recession-resistant customer base. Our partnership mindset drives us: we solve customer problems rather than just ship boxes. Pro Services Workforce Solutions is recruiting this direct-hire, USW-union maintenance role for our Arlington facility.
The challenge
- Own reliability for a modern corrugator and converting operation (most equipment 2014+; corrugator upgraded with a 2021 dry end and 2023 wet end, with more new machines coming).
