Job Description

Own the Pulse of Our Plant

Picture your morning starting in the utility room—compressors humming at spec, chillers balanced, cooling towers steady, and HVAC systems tuned for the day’s production run. As our Plant Utilities Reliability Technician, you’re the person who keeps mission-critical infrastructure online so teams on the floor can hit their numbers without interruption.

You’ll begin by reviewing CMMS tickets and system trends, then make proactive rounds through central utilities. When something drifts—air dryer dew point, chiller setpoint, an exhaust fan vibration—you catch it early. If a failure hits, you respond fast, contain the issue, and get production back up with calm, skilled troubleshooting.

• Compressed air systems: compressors, dryers, receivers, and distribution piping—inspection, troubleshooting, and optimization
• Industrial chillers, cooling towers, pumps, and process water systems—preventive and corrective maintenance
• HVAC assets: rooftop units, air handlers, exhaust/ventilation, and environmental controls—diagnosis and repair
• Rapid response to utility alarms/failures to minimize downtime
• Performance monitoring and energy efficiency improvements across utilities

• Repair and maintain building systems: lighting, electrical distribution (within scope), plumbing, and architectural elements (walls, floors, ceilings)
• Maintain dock equipment: dock doors, levelers, seals, and related components
• Support installation and modification of facility equipment and infrastructure
• Coordinate vendors and contractors for specialized work and projects

• Production uptime and schedule attainment
• Regulatory compliance (OSHA, FDA, SQF, environmental)
• Equipment reliability and lifecycle performance
• Energy efficiency and cost reduction
• Overall plant safety culture

• 3–7 years of maintenance experience in a manufacturing environment (plastics, injection molding, or blow molding preferred)
• Hands-on background with compressed air systems, chillers, and HVAC
• Strong preventive and corrective maintenance history

• Expert troubleshooting across mechanical, electrical, and utility systems
• Working knowledge of pumps, motors, valves, and control systems
• Ability to read blueprints, schematics, and technical manuals
• Experience with CMMS systems preferred

• Analytical, resourceful problem-solver
• Skilled at prioritizing work in a fast-paced manufacturing setting
• Clear communicator and dependable team player
• Self-directed with strong attention to detail

• Manufacturing plant with machinery, noise, and varying temperatures
• Physical demands: standing, walking, bending, climbing ladders, working in confined spaces, and lifting up to 50 lbs
• Occasional overtime, weekend, or on-call support as needed

If you take pride in making critical systems run flawlessly and want to be the reason production never misses a beat, we’d like to meet you.
