Mechanical Maintenance Technician

Maintenance Technician - Mechanical

An established heavy-manufacturing plant is adding a mechanical maintenance technician to its 2nd-shift team. This is the person who keeps heavy machinery moving - performing preventive maintenance and precision repairs on presses, hydraulics, and power-transmission systems so production does not stall. The role is hands-on and physical, spanning mechanical repair, basic electrical and controls support, and CMMS-tracked work orders on complex plant equipment. For a mechanically strong maintenance tech, this offers a competitive hourly rate at the top of the local market and a stable, long-established manufacturer to grow with.
