• Source parts and coordinate with vendors/suppliers for materials and equipment needs
• Support root cause analysis on recurring equipment issues (APV machines, mixers, and similar food processing equipment)
• Ensure documentation and compliance with safety procedures and regulatory requirements

We are a non-union facility and proud of the collaborative, flexible culture that comes with it. We're looking for someone who:

• Takes ownership of the maintenance planning process
• Communicates openly and works well with people at all levels
