Industrial Stamping Press Maintenance Technician

Job Description

Job Description

About the Role

Step onto our second shift and become the go-to expert who keeps high-tonnage metal stamping operations running. You’ll split your time between two nearby plants, so dependable self-transportation is essential. This position is for an experienced manufacturing press and machine repair professional—someone who has already repaired metal stamping presses, weld cells, compressors, and similar production equipment.

A Day in the Life

You arrive, review the maintenance queue, and tackle a coil-fed press that’s showing a hydraulic pressure fluctuation. You listen for irregularities, isolate the fault, and tear down the assembly to reach a worn seal. After measuring, replacing, and aligning components, you re-pipe a section of hydraulic line, bring the press back online, and run test parts to confirm quality. Later, you fine-tune an automated lubrication circuit, then shift to the other facility to realign a clutch and spindle on a Minster press. Before clocking out, you tweak a computer-controlled motion routine so the Aida press cycles smoothly.

What You’ll Work On

• Repairing and maintaining mechanical and hydraulic systems on production equipment, including coil-fed metal stamping presses, metal fabrication machine tools, material handling gear, and automated lubrication systems.
• Diagnosing malfunctions by observing, listening, and inspecting equipment; dismantling machinery to access problem areas.
• Measuring parts to verify wear or misalignment; removing and replacing worn components in drive and hydraulic systems.
• Realigning and adjusting assemblies such as spindles and clutches for optimal performance.
• Locating damaged pneumatic and hydraulic piping; cutting, threading, and installing new lines.
• Starting and testing machines after repair to validate operation and quality.
• Fabricating or restoring parts using a lathe, drill press, and grinder.
• Modifying computer-controlled motion in automation to resolve cycle or positioning issues.

Note: Other duties may be assigned as needed.

Shift & Mobility

• Second shift assignment.
• Ability to reliably travel between and support two plant locations.

What You Bring

• Proven background in manufacturing press and machinery repair—specifically with metal stamping presses, weld cells, and compressors.
• Strong equipment, mechanical, and general troubleshooting abilities.
• Experience with metal stamping and forming, including progressive die processes.
• Familiarity with Minster and Aida stamping presses.

Compensation & Benefits

• Competitive Wages
• Health Insurance
• Dental Insurance
• Employer Matching 401K
• Paid Vacation
• Paid Holidays
• Voluntary Vision Coverage
• Voluntary Critical Illness Coverage
