Alongside our production teams, our maintenance mechanical technicians work in a team or autonomously to continuously improve our equipment reliability in a high-speed manufacturing environment.

Although you will start out working for Frito-Lay/Sabra, this job can open the door to career opportunities with our parent company, PepsiCo. We set industry standards in terms of pay and benefits. We also offer unbeatable benefits including health insurance, dental and vision, retirement savings benefits including 401(k) with company contribution, vacation days and much more.

• Ability to express basic electronic, mechanical and hydraulic principles used in past electrician, maintenance mechanic, and maintenance technician work assignments.
• Experience in industrial maintenance (electrical & mechanical) and testing procedures (A/C D/C) preferred. Experience troubleshooting automated equipment, including sensors, valves, pumps, discrete I/O, PLCs, and VFDs.
• Experience troubleshooting and repairing 480v 3phase electrical motors and circuits.
• Thoroughly document maintenance activity using the maintenance database (SAP), adequately communicate maintenance issues to appropriate employees (e.g., other maintenance techs, operators, engineers, supervisors, etc.).
• Certification in mechanical, electrical, or multi-craft apprenticeship (Preferred).

Professional insight and knowledge of the operation of our equipment will enable you to understand problems and take action to resolve issues. Do you have technical school training, a certification or manufacturing or welding experience? If so, this entry-level position may be right for you.

Please be sure that you meet the following minimum requirements for this position:

• You are at least 18 years of age or older
• You will be required to work on weekends and holidays
• Ability to lift 15 to 50 pounds with or without a reasonable accommodation

• You are willing and able to work in an environment that has extreme temperatures, humidity, hazardous/loud equipment, and slippery surfaces

Mechanics who are considering applying often ask us what characteristics our leadership looks for in this important position. This should give you an idea of what managers are seeking:

• Customer Service: given our emphasis on mechanical aptitude, you might be surprised to see customer service listed here, but remember we interact with all levels of team members on the floor. It is important that you, and we as a team, treat all team members with the same level of service as we would our consumers.
• Flexibility: you'll be switching gears, shifting priorities, and balancing task lists with calls for maintenance repairs. Flexibility - and keeping your cool - will allow you to both focus and prioritize your work.
• Self-Starter: you will often find yourself working unsupervised, so taking ownership of your quality and speed of work is essential when conducting preventative maintenance or addressing equipment failure.
• Safety Focused: your attention to company policies and procedures regarding safety will minimize risks to yourself, your team, and the quality of our products. Safety is everyone's job at Frito-Lay.

We hope that you can imagine yourself on the team. Does this sound like you? We must be honest with you: there will be tough days. When we experience downtime, we are working under pressure to fix equipment. We take it in stride because we believe, and our Maintenance Mechanics agree, that the rewards are worth it.
