Are you the fixer everyone calls?

Picture this: A line goes down mid-shift. You trace the issue through a schematic, isolate a failed switch, replace it, and bring the machine back faster than expected—safely and by the book. If that sounds like your kind of challenge, you’ll thrive here.

• Install and repair machinery and facility systems; oversee basic spare-parts storage and inventory.
• Read and interpret prints, drawings, and schematics to plan effective solutions.
• Disassemble, repair, reassemble, and validate machinery performance.
• Run normal, start-up, and emergency shutdown procedures for plant utilities (generator, air compressor, cooling tower, chiller).
• Replace defective electrical elements including switches and sockets.
• Carry out safe rigging and lifting.
• Leverage intermediate machine shop skills as needed.
• Follow all safety procedures—lock-out/tag-out every time.
• Pitch in on facility work: carpentry, plumbing, and painting.
• Back up electricians during peak or complex tasks.

• Keep the workspace tidy and organized.
• Be available to support any segment of forming production when called upon.

• Strong mechanical aptitude with proven electro-mechanical troubleshooting skills.
• Comfort with basic computer tools for work orders and parts research.
• Resourceful problem solver who moves from diagnosis to fix efficiently.

• Clear communicator—written and spoken.
• Independent operator who also values teamwork.
• Positive attitude and cooperative approach.
• Team-first mindset.

• Frequent standing and walking; hands-on tool use throughout the shift.
• Regular communication with teammates—talking and hearing required.
• Climbing, stooping, bending, and reaching are part of the work.
• Occasional pushing/pulling, kneeling, and crouching.
• Lift/move up to 20 lbs routinely; up to 50 lbs on occasion.
• Need for close vision and color/shade differentiation.
• Work near moving machinery and lift trucks with noise consistently above 85 dB.
• Exposure to paper dust common in converting operations.
• Occasional fumes/vapors or hazardous products (e.g., degreasers, silicone sprays).
