Maintenance Technician
Location: Chicago, IL Schedule: 1st Shift | MondayFriday
A long-running manufacturing operation in the Chicago area is adding a maintenance technician to its production support team. The company has been in continuous operation for over seven decades, runs a single-shift schedule, and has a track record of retaining employees long term. Equipment gets updated regularly and the facility is organized and well-maintained.

- Respond to equipment breakdowns and get lines back up quickly
- Maintain accurate records of completed work and equipment status
- Coordinate with production staff to support safe and efficient operations
What They Need

- Strong mechanical troubleshooting foundation
- Solid experience with pneumatic systems; hydraulic exposure is a plus
- Basic electrical and PLC familiarity preferred
- Able to read blueprints and electrical schematics
- AAS degree or relevant maintenance certifications preferred
- Reliable, practical, and comfortable working in an active production setting
- Industry background is open, solid mechanical skills matter more than sector experience
