Maintenance Mechanic Lead (2nd Shift)

Maintenance Lead (2nd Shift) | A Steadier, Better-Run Shop + $7,000 Sign-On Bonus | Milwaukee, WI

Palermo Villa, Inc. 3301 W Canal St., Milwaukee, WI 53208, USA

We're investing in our maintenance team and moving from reactive repairs toward planned, predictive maintenance. That means a shift that runs on a plan, the tools to do the job right, and the backing to lead your people well. If you've been holding a chaotic shop together with not enough support, this is a better place to lead.

What you'll do:

• Lead and support a shift team of technicians, keeping lines running at 98%+ uptime.
• Bring structure and a steady hand to the shift, and develop your techs along the way.
• Stay hands-on with mechanical and electrical troubleshooting (PLCs, VFDs, servos, robotics).
• Help drive the move to predictive maintenance so the work gets more planned over time.

You'll do your best work here if you:

• Have solid hands-on industrial maintenance experience, including leading or mentoring others.
• Want a stable, well-run shop and a real day off midweek.
• Lead through trust and steadiness, not noise.
• Are technically strong and disciplined about detail and safety.

Pay: 

From $40/hr plus weekend and holiday premiums, a $7,000 sign-on bonus, a $5.00/hr off-shift premium, and a $50 monthly cell phone reimbursement.

Schedule:

Hiring on 2nd Shift (2:00 p.m.–10:30 p.m.)

Perks:

• 20 free pizzas a month.

Who you'll work for:
