• Work closely with operations and maintenance teams to maximize uptime

Required Experience

• 5+ years of industrial maintenance experience in a manufacturing environment
• Strong mechanical troubleshooting and repair ability
• Experience with hydraulics, pneumatics, gearboxes, conveyors, motors, and production equipment
• Experience working with 3-phase / 480V electrical systems

• Tight-knit maintenance team with excellent culture
• Clear path for advancement and increased earnings

Ideal Candidate

We're looking for someone with a strong work ethic, positive attitude, and a true troubleshooting mindset. The best fit is a technician who takes initiative, enjoys solving difficult mechanical and electrical problems, and wants to build a long-term career with a company that values skilled maintenance professionals.
