Skills and Experience

Previous industrial or manufacturing maintenance experience is highly important for this position. The ideal candidate should have hands-on experience troubleshooting and repairing production equipment and understand how equipment operates in a fast-paced manufacturing environment. Candidates with experience working around conveyors, motors, pumps, gearboxes, electrical systems, pneumatics, hydraulics, packaging equipment, or other industrial machinery are strongly preferred.
