KEEP PRODUCTION MOVING. SOLVE PROBLEMS. BE THE PERSON THEY CALL WHEN DOWNTIME ISN'T AN OPTION.

Are you the Maintenance Technician who gets called when equipment stops and everyone else is looking for answers?

We're looking for a hands-on Maintenance Technician to join a manufacturing operation in Southern Wisconsin. This is an opportunity to work with modern manufacturing equipment, troubleshoot complex mechanical and electrical issues, and play a critical role in keeping production running safely and efficiently.

• Respond quickly to equipment breakdowns and production needs.
• Identify recurring equipment problems and recommend permanent solutions.
• Perform equipment inspections and document completed maintenance activities.
• Support equipment installations, upgrades, and continuous-improvement projects.
• Maintain a safe, organized, and professional work environment.

LEAD EXPERIENCE — OPTIONAL

Are you already the person everyone turns to when something goes down?

You may have an opportunity to take on additional responsibility, mentor other technicians, help prioritize work, and serve as a technical resource for the maintenance team.

WHAT YOU BRING

• 2+ years of industrial maintenance or manufacturing maintenance experience preferred.
• Strong mechanical and electrical troubleshooting skills.
• Experience with motors, conveyors, sensors, VFDs, pneumatics, hydraulics, and controls.

• Strong commitment to safety and equipment reliability.
• Manufacturing experience preferred.

• Opportunity to expand your electrical, mechanical, automation, and robotics skill set

This is more than a parts-changer role. We're looking for technicians who can think, troubleshoot, diagnose, and fix.

When production is down, you're not waiting for someone else to figure it out. You're the person they call.
