About This Opportunity

We are placing a Maintenance Mechanic on behalf of a global leader in manufacturing. This position plays a critical role in maintaining, troubleshooting, repairing, and improving production equipment to ensure safe, efficient, and reliable operations.

We're looking for a skilled maintenance professional who thrives in a fast-paced manufacturing environment and takes pride in keeping equipment operating at peak performance.

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys solving complex mechanical challenges and contributing to overall plant reliability and uptime.

  • Experience using preventative maintenance programs and CMMS systems
  • Strong mechanical troubleshooting skills
  • PLC familiarity and exposure

Other Requirements:

  • Must be 18+ years of age
  • Must be authorized to work in the U.S. no sponsorship available for this role

Strongly Preferred:

  • 2 + years of maintenance experience as a mechanic or technician in a manufacturing/distribution environment
  • Have industrial, electrical, and/or welding certification or license
  • 1 year of maintenance experience applying electrical, hydraulic, and pneumatic concepts
  • 1 year work experience troubleshooting or programming PLCs

Nice to have, but not required: Strong candidates without these are still encouraged to apply.

  • Electrical knowledge is a big plus, especially high-voltage
  • Experience with:
    • Liquid transfer systems
    • Diaphragm pumps
    • Conveyers
    • Pump and valve maintenance
    • Pneumatic manufacturing

What You'll Be Doing

  • Performing preventive and predictive maintenance on production and facility equipment
  • Troubleshooting and repair mechanical equipment failures to minimize downtime
  • Diagnosing root causes of equipment breakdowns and implement corrective actions
  • Repairing, rebuilding, and replacing mechanical components as needed
  • Inspecting, maintaining, and servicing pumps, gearboxes, valves, conveyors, and related equipment
  • Assisting with electrical troubleshooting and minor electrical repairs
  • Performing pipefitting and equipment installation projects
  • Maintaining HVAC, lighting, water, sewer, and facility systems
  • Completing maintenance work orders and documentation using CMMS systems
  • Supporting equipment reliability and continuous improvement initiatives
  • Maintaining a safe, organized, and clean work environment
  • Collaborating with production, engineering, and operations teams to improve equipment performance
