Maintenance Mechanic

Let’s be real — great work deserves great rewards. As a Maintenance Mechanic here, you’ll get more than just a paycheck. You’ll enjoy a competitive compensation package, medical, dental, and vision insurance, and a 401(k) with company match to build your future. You’ll also receive paid time off, holiday pay, company‑paid life insurance and short‑term disability, plus tuition reimbursement and a boot voucher—because we believe in taking care of the people who take care of our equipment. We’re a rail manufacturing company that’s been growing strong for more than 65 years, and we’re proud of what we’ve built—teams that deliver what matters. Now, we’re looking for a Maintenance Mechanic who’s ready to jump in, take ownership, and keep things running like clockwork. If you’re a self‑starter who loves a challenge, can handle a fast‑paced environment, and takes pride in solving problems before they slow anyone down, this might be your next big opportunity. This is a hands‑on, full‑time, onsite role in Granite City, IL—both indoors and outdoors—where no two days are the same. You’ll troubleshoot and repair everything from 480 V 3‑phase systems and PLCs to conveyors, hydraulics, and pneumatics. You’ll put your experience in fabrication and welding to work, perform preventive maintenance, and make sure production keeps moving smoothly. Around here, teamwork and initiative go hand in hand—you’ll have support when you need it, but plenty of room to take the lead when you don’t. Qualifications Proven experience as a Maintenance Mechanic or Industrial Maintenance Technician in a fast‑paced manufacturing setting. Strong experience troubleshooting electrical systems, PLCs, HMIs, and motor controls. Solid experience maintaining and repairing pneumatic, hydraulic, and conveyor systems. A hands‑on, safety‑first mindset—and a drive to get things done right the first time. You’ll work Monday through Friday, 7:30 AM to 4:30 PM, and yes—you’ll sometimes be outdoors in all kinds of weather. But the tools are provided, the team’s got your back, and the results you deliver will be noticed and appreciated. We’ve rounded out a fun, fast‑paced work environment and we want people who believe in doing high‑quality work for all the parts that keep our big customers moving forward.
