Production Maintenance Mechanic | High-Speed Packaging

Location: Montgomery, AL (On-site)

Pay: $27 to $32 per hour plus a sign-on bonus

Schedule: 1st shift and 2nd shift openings available

Overview

A large, privately owned high speed foods manufacturer needs two mechanics for a plant it opened recently, one for days and one for evenings. The site runs fast filling and packaging lines on new equipment, and the maintenance crew is what keeps those lines moving. You will work right alongside production and report to your shift supervisor.

This company cares more about how you think through a breakdown than which industry you come from.
