Maintenance Mechanic

Job Description
Mission

Support a precision manufacturing facility producing high-performance conveyor and motion systems by ensuring all production and facility equipment operates safely, reliably, and efficiently. This role exists to sustain uptime, troubleshoot mechanical systems, and lead hands-on maintenance solutions that keep operations moving without interruption.

Performance Objectives

1. Diagnose & Repair Equipment Failures: Troubleshoot, evaluate, and repair production, fabrication, and test equipment - with emphasis on mechanical systems such as gearboxes, bearings, hydraulics, and pneumatics.
2. Perform Preventive Maintenance: Execute and improve the preventative maintenance program to reduce downtime and extend equipment lifespan.
3. Fabricate & Innovate: Read or create sketches, source materials, and fabricate repair parts or improvements as needed. Demonstrate creative, "hands-on" problem-solving to keep production on schedule.
4. Support Safety & Reliability: Follow lockout/tagout and plant safety procedures rigorously; identify hazards before they become incidents.
5. Collaborate Across Teams: Partner with Production, Fabrication, and Quality departments to prioritize repairs and support production goals.
6. Document & Communicate: Maintain clear, accurate logs, schematics, and reports; communicate effectively with supervisors and peers to ensure smooth shift transitions.

Fit Traits

• Mechanically inclined, hands-on leader who thrives in a team setting
• Skilled fabricator and natural troubleshooter
• Curious, resourceful, and confident working independently with minimal supervision
• Calm under pressure, especially during unplanned outages
• Strong communicator with pride in precision, craftsmanship, and reliability

Why This Role Matters

This role is ideal for mechanically-minded veterans or technicians who love fixing, fabricating, and improving real equipment - not sitting behind a screen. You'll be trusted to think, build, and lead with your hands. If you want a first-shift role with steady hours, a team-oriented culture, and the freedom to solve problems your way, this is where you can make an impact.
