Industrial Maintenance Technician (Mechanical & Electrical)
The Opportunity
As our Maintenance Technician, you aren’t just turning wrenches—you are the heartbeat of a sophisticated production facility. You’ll master a diverse range of high-tech systems, from robotic palletizers and Siemens PLCs to complex chemical injection and extrusion lines. With a 70/30 split between mechanical and electrical work, no two days are the same.
Why You’ll Love Working Here
- True Stability: Join a loyal team in a facility that values long-term growth.
- Industry-Leading Benefits: Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision, plus 100% company-paid short- and long-term disability.
- Invest in Yourself: We provide internal training and 75% tuition assistance for approved external programs.
- Elite Retirement: A 401(k) program with a total potential match of 5%.
- Collaborative Culture: An "open-door" environment where teammates actually support one another and communicate via radio to solve problems in real-time.
What You’ll Do
- Troubleshoot & Conquer: Keep our high-speed lines (rollers, conveyors, saws, slitters) running at peak performance.
- Master the Machine: Perform full tear-downs and rebuilds of critical industrial equipment.
- Electrical & Controls: Work with 480V power, panel wiring, VFDs, and servos. You’ll assist with Siemens PLC fault-finding and control logic.
- Fluid Power: Maintain and repair complex pneumatic and hydraulic systems.
- Precision Craft: Utilize blueprints and schematics daily, and use your skills on mills, lathes, and basic welding to keep the plant moving.
What You Bring to the Team
- Experience: 3–5 years in an industrial manufacturing environment.
- Technical Knowledge: Strong mechanical repair skills and a solid grasp of basic electrical troubleshooting.
- Analytical Mind: The ability to read schematics and blueprints to diagnose issues before they cause downtime.
- Reliability: A consistent work history that shows you’re a pro who shows up for your team.
- Education: High school diploma required; Technical school or military training is a huge plus!

This is a "real-deal" manufacturing plant. You’ll be working around heavy equipment, robotic systems, and forklifts.
