Job Description

Keep a High-Speed Bakery Moving in Plymouth, MI

Walk onto the floor at 4:55 PM, join a quick huddle with production and sanitation, and then make your first rounds: ovens humming, conveyors flowing, baggers and tyers ready for the night’s push. You’ll keep complex systems healthy, solve problems fast, and help a close-knit team deliver fresh product around the clock. This is a direct-hire role with Pro Services partnering with a leading bakery in Plymouth, MI.

What You’ll Tackle

• Execute preventive maintenance on critical assets — ovens, high-speed conveyors, coolers, sifters, mixers, proof boxes, baggers, and tyers — to prevent unplanned downtime.
• Diagnose and repair electro-mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic, and PLC-controlled equipment, including motors, sensors, instrumentation, distribution, and feed-control components.
• Resolve issues on PLC/HMI-driven equipment at a basic troubleshooting level; collaborate with engineering as needed for deeper logic support.
• Inspect, adjust, and replace worn parts (belts, bolts, bearings, seals, shafts, gearboxes) to restore reliability.
• Partner with production, sanitation, engineering, and maintenance teammates to keep lines running safely and efficiently.

What You Bring

• 4+ years as a maintenance mechanic in heavy industrial, manufacturing, or bakery environments.
• Hands-on experience with complex conveyor systems, including troubleshooting and mechanical rebuilds.
• Solid electrical and mechanical foundation: three-phase motors, bearings, seals, shafts, gearboxes — install, replace, and repair.
• Comfort in fast-paced production; known as a team player who jumps in wherever needed.
• Food/bakery background a plus; PLC/HMI troubleshooting exposure a plus.

Tools & Technical Depth

• Bring your own hand tools: wrenches, Allen key set, jaw pliers, chain lock.
• Electrical capability across 110–240V single-phase and 480V three-phase; strong with motors and relays.
• Wire electric motors; maintain and troubleshoot VFDs, three-phase equipment, sensors, and digital/analog I/O.
• Mechanical aptitude to rebuild devices; conveyor systems experience required.
• Basic pneumatics.
• Welding: MIG required; TIG is a plus.

Schedule & Pay

• Shift: Third shift / nights, 5:00 PM – 5:00 AM
• Schedule: Rotating 3-2-3; average ~48 hours/week; availability to cover other shifts as needed
• Weekend: Every Friday and every other weekend
• Compensation: $34.41/hour base + $1.55/hour night shift differential

Physical Demands & PPE

• Occasionally lift, carry, push, and pull up to 100 lbs (under 1/3 of shift); frequent walking (~50%) and standing (~30%).
• Regular kneeling and crouching; occasional ladder/scaffold work.
• Work around wet, slippery, and narrow surfaces; normal vision, hearing, and speaking required.
