PBC Linear is hiring experienced Machine Rebuild and Maintenance Technicians for our advanced manufacturing operation in Roscoe, Illinois.

Our team supports more than 60 CNC mills and lathes along with custom automation systems, machine rebuild projects, prototype equipment, and new manufacturing technologies.

This is not a typical maintenance position.

Our Machine Rebuild team works on everything from rebuilding CNC machinery and repairing complex mechanical systems to developing custom automation equipment and supporting new patented product manufacturing processes.

If you enjoy solving difficult mechanical problems, rebuilding equipment, improving machinery, and working with highly skilled technical teams, this is an opportunity to do meaningful hands-on engineering and manufacturing work every day.

Conveniently located for candidates commuting from Rockford, Loves Park, Machesney Park, Roscoe, Rockton, Caledonia, Beloit, Janesville, and surrounding communities.

What You'll Work On

• Repair, rebuild, and overhaul CNC machinery and manufacturing equipment
• Diagnose mechanical, pneumatic, hydraulic, and machine system failures
• Disassemble, repair, and reassemble complex industrial machinery
• Rebuild and recondition CNC machine components and assemblies
• Repair spindles, shafts, gear trains, valves, cylinders, and bearings
• Replace ball screws, linear guideways, and precision mechanical components
• Align machine spindles, slides, and mechanical systems
• Support preventative and predictive maintenance programs
• Assist with custom automation equipment and in-house manufacturing improvements
• Train operators to help reduce machine downtime and prevent equipment damage
• Support development of new manufacturing processes and patented products

Qualifications

Why This Role Is Different

At PBC Linear, our Machine Rebuild team is deeply involved in solving manufacturing challenges and developing new production capabilities.

Many projects begin with little more than a concept or sketch and evolve into fully functioning manufacturing solutions through the creativity and skill of our team.

You will work directly with advanced manufacturing technologies including:

• CNC machining systems
• automation equipment
• custom machine builds
• prototype manufacturing systems
• large-format industrial 3D printing technologies
