Maintenance Technician - Industrial Manufacturing

The Mission

A privately held, family-owned manufacturer producing mission-critical components for the defense, medical, and aerospace industries is expanding its maintenance team. This is a hands-on technical role in a modern, climate-controlled production environment where the work directly supports national security and life-saving technology.

If you have the technical discipline to keep complex industrial equipment running — and the judgment to do it on your own when the shift calls for it — this role was built for veterans like you.

What You'll Own

• Troubleshoot and repair mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic, and electrical/electronic systems — including PLCs (input/output diagnostics), drives, and power supplies up to 480V
  
• Diagnose and correct failures in production equipment with minimal downtime, working independently once trained
  
• Plan and execute maintenance work applying knowledge of mechanical and electrical theory, the National Electrical Code, and equipment operating principles
  
• Install, start up, and shut down equipment in full compliance with OSHA and site safety procedures
  
• Operate the CMMS (Computerized Maintenance Management System) to manage work orders, log repairs, and track equipment history
  
• Execute preventive maintenance on a defined schedule and maintain accurate performance records
  
• Move between two facilities located approximately 10 minutes apart — reliable personal transportation required
  

What Success Looks Like

At 30 days: Oriented to both facilities, trained on first shift alongside experienced technicians, building familiarity with the equipment and the CMMS.

At 60–90 days: Running your shift independently — the only technician on the floor, making real-time decisions about repairs, priorities, and safety.

Ongoing: Keeping production moving, surfacing recurring problems before they become failures, and contributing to a team that measures itself on uptime and precision.

Requirements

• Must have served in the U.S. Army, U.S. Navy, U.S. Marine Corps, U.S. Air Force, U.S. Coast Guard, U.S. Space Force, U.S. Reserves, or U.S. National Guard.
  

• 5+ years of industrial maintenance experience with demonstrated proficiency across mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic, and electrical/electronic systems
  

• Electrical experience up to 480V — installation, troubleshooting, and repair
  
• PLC familiarity — input/output diagnostics and repair (programming not required)
  
• Mechanical troubleshooting — hydraulics, pneumatics, pumps, valves (willing to train strong electrical candidates on the mechanical side)
  
• Ability to read and interpret schematics, blueprints, and technical drawings
  
• Comfort with precision measuring tools
  
• Strong independent troubleshooting skills and a safety-first mindset
  
• High school diploma or equivalent required; trade/tech school certification preferred
  
• Reliable personal transportation (required — work is split across two nearby facilities)
