Job Description

Job Description

Think in schematics? Fix failures at the source? Let’s talk.

Pro Services Workforce Solutions is hiring a direct-hire reliability technician for a Fortune 500 corrugated packaging plant in Cheswick, PA. You’ll be the go-to on third shift for electrical and mechanical uptime on converting assets. Non-union. Growth-focused. Promotion-driven.

Is this you?

• You isolate faults through disciplined testing across 0–24V control, 110–240V single phase, and 480V three phase.
• You read electrical prints like a map and can pinpoint failures down to the card on AB/Siemens PLC hardware.
• You don’t stop at symptoms—you fix root causes and document to prevent repeat issues.
• You’re confident on both sides of the craft: electrical diagnostics and mechanical rebuilds.

What you’ll take ownership of

• Uptime on Flexo Folder Gluers, rotary/flat die cutters, EVOL, DRO, conveyors, and banders.
• Reactive, planned, proactive, and predictive maintenance activities.
• Reading/tracing schematics; troubleshooting motors, relays, sensors, I/O, and cabinets.
• PLC hardware diagnosis; coordinate with vendors for any program-side work.
• Mechanical rebuilds: bearings, shafts, seals, gearboxes, conveyors.
• Pumps (positive displacement, air diaphragm, centrifugal) and hydraulic cylinder rebuilds.
• Fabrication and repair welding (MIG required; stick preferred).

Must have

• 5+ years multicraft industrial maintenance (Maintenance B level or higher).
• Strong electrical foundation and safe work practices at 480V.
• Ability to interpret electrical/mechanical prints.
• Hands-on experience with PLC hardware troubleshooting.
• Comfort with hydraulics/pneumatics and mechanical rebuilds.
• Basic hand tools (specialty tools provided).
• Willingness for third-shift work Monday–Friday plus most Saturdays.
• Authorization to work in the U.S.

Great to have

• 4–7 years intermediate depth in electrical, mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic, or welding.
• Experience with VFDs, servos, I/O modules, sensors, wiring, cabinet troubleshooting, or work above 480V.
• Exposure to HMIs, robotics, or CNC equipment.
• Corrugated/packaging/pulp & paper background.
• Current arc flash certification (site certification also provided).
• Technical degree or maintenance certification.

Career path and team

• Promotions fuel openings; your growth is the plan.
• Start at B or A (A requires passing a site test); progress to AA through paid OJT + TPC (1–2 years typical).
• Work within a 3–4 tech crew with on-site support and vendor access.

Compensation & benefits

• $32.70/hr (B) to $36.97/hr (A) + $0.50/hr shift premium.
• 1.5x pay over 8 hours/day and over 40 hours/week; weekend and holiday premiums.
• Multiple medical plans; retirement plans with additional company contributions.
• 11 paid holidays.
• Vacation: up to 1 week in your hire year; 2 full weeks in first full year.
• Uniforms and laundering provided.
• Safety shoe and glasses allowance; tool stipend and replacement program.

Schedule & environment

• Third shift, Monday–Friday, 8-hour shifts; most Saturdays (avg. ~10 hours OT/week).
• 90-day probation with hands-on HR support for benefits.
• Physical: on feet ~90% of shift; frequent lifting/carrying/pulling 21–50 lbs.
• Frequent ladders/scaffolds; bending, squatting, kneeling.
