  • Investigate equipment failures and determine root causes.
  • Develop and implement corrective actions to improve equipment reliability.
  • Work with engineering and production teams on equipment improvements and modifications.
  • Assist with equipment automation and process improvements.
  • Update maintenance documentation, procedures, and SOPs when equipment or processes change.
  • Coordinate with outside vendors when specialized repairs or technical support are required.
  • Order replacement parts and supplies as needed.
  • Provide technical guidance and support to other maintenance technicians.
  • Work independently and prioritize multiple equipment issues in a fast-paced manufacturing environment.
What We're Looking For
  • High school diploma or GED required.
  • Approximately 5+ years of hands-on industrial/manufacturing equipment maintenance experience preferred.
  • Strong mechanical troubleshooting and repair skills.
  • Solid electrical troubleshooting ability and understanding of basic electrical systems.
  • Experience working with motors, pumps, mechanical systems, and industrial equipment.
  • Experience with controls/automation is preferred.
  • Experience with vacuum equipment or vacuum systems is highly desirable.
  • Ability to investigate problems, identify root causes, and work independently toward solutions.
  • Experience performing preventive maintenance and equipment calibration.
  • Strong documentation and communication skills.
  • Comfortable working with engineering, production, vendors, and other maintenance personnel.

PLC/Controls Experience: Experience with Allen-Bradley, Siemens, or other industrial control platforms is welcome.
Schedule & Overtime
  • First-shift schedule with a choice of:
    • 6:00 AM–3:30 PM
    • 7:00 AM–4:30 PM
  • Overtime is available and technicians may work approximately 50 hours during a Monday–Friday workweek when needed.
