Maintenance Specialist - Manufacturing Environment

DeForest, WI | 1st Shift | Monday – Friday

At Demco , we don’t just maintain buildings, we support the environments where innovation happens. From libraries to schools, our products help shape learning spaces across the country. Now, we’re looking for a skilled, hands-on Maintenance Specialist to keep our operations running safely and efficiently.

• Troubleshoot, repair, and maintain manufacturing equipment
• Perform preventative maintenance and root cause analysis on production issues
• Handle facility upkeep: HVAC, plumbing, electrical, lighting, doors, and more
• Complete interior repairs (drywall, flooring, fixtures) and support building aesthetics
• Manage vendor relationships and oversee third-party contractors
• Maintain inspection records (fire, sprinkler, safety compliance)
• Support snow removal and exterior maintenance during winter months
• Play an active role in safety initiatives and OSHA compliance

Qualified candidates will have:

• At least 5 years of experience in maintenance, construction, or manufacturing environments
• Strong working knowledge of HVAC, electrical, and general facility systems
• Mechanical aptitude with the ability to diagnose and fix complex issues
• A Self-starter mindset with the ability to work independently and jump in wherever needed
• A Valid driver’s license 
• Ability to be standing / walking throughout your shift and lift up to 50 lbs
• Comfort in working in varying conditions (including heights and outdoor elements during all seasons)
• OSHA 10 hour certification (or willingness to obtain after hire)
• Experience supporting manufacturing operations
• Forklift or equipment operation experience (or willingness to learn)

Why Choose Demco?

• Stable, Monday–Friday 1st shift schedule
• A role where your work has visible impact every single day
• A team that values problem-solvers and doers
• Opportunities to grow your skills across multiple trades
• A company culture that supports innovation, even if that means we fail often, fail fast to get better
