Industrial Maintenance Mechanic — PLC & Power Systems

Be the go-to problem solver when the plant is hummingJoin a growing manufacturing operation in Hammond, Indiana, and own the health of our production assets overnight. As an Industrial Maintenance Mechanic, you’ll keep equipment reliable, production moving, and teammates safe on a third-shift schedule. Initial training occurs on first shift during onboarding, and you’ll have company-provided tools plus a stable environment with long-term growth opportunities.A night in this roleYou arrive, review the maintenance log, and prioritize calls. A conveyor is down—you isolate power, follow LOTO, and trace the fault to a failed contactor. Later, you swap a pump seal, interpret an Allen‑Bradley PLC alarm, and verify a VFD parameter change with your meter. Before the shift ends, you complete PMs, document work performed, and flag a gearbox vibration trend for predictive follow-up. You leave the line running smoothly for the day crew.What you'll take onTroubleshoot, repair, and sustain industrial production machineryExecute preventive and predictive maintenance plansDiagnose mechanical systems: conveyors, mixers, pumps, gearboxes, bearings, hydraulics, and pneumaticsWork on electrical systems up to 480V: motors, starters, relays, contactors, and VFDsPerform Allen‑Bradley PLC fault diagnostics and basic troubleshootingUse meters and electrical test equipment to pinpoint issuesApply Lockout/Tagout and all plant safety requirementsMaintain accurate CMMS/maintenance documentationSupport continuous improvement and equipment reliability initiativesWork independently while collaborating with operations and maintenance teammatesWhat you bringRequired5+ years of industrial maintenance experienceProven mechanical troubleshooting and repair capabilityHands-on experience with 120/208/240/480 VAC systemsAllen‑Bradley PLC troubleshooting exposureBackground with conveyors, mixers, pumps, gearboxes, hydraulics, and pneumaticsAbility to read/interpret technical documentation and electrical schematicsComfort using hand/shop tools and electrical test instrumentsSolid Lockout/Tagout knowledgeAbility to work independently on an off-shift (third shift)PreferredWelding and fabricationForklift operationScissor lift experienceExperience in GMP-regulated manufacturingWork environment & safetyWork takes place in an industrial manufacturing facility.
