Maintenance Mechanic

Maintenance MechanicWhen Alfred Fain founded a small Rhode Island tire store in 1924, at the time no one could have predicted how Teknor Apex would become an international custom compounder sought out by companies around the world. After a nearly hundred-year journey that's carried us through acquisitions and expansion, we now have nine U.S. locations, as well as operations in Belgium, Singapore, Germany, and China.Throughout this global expansion Teknor has remained a privately held company, and today Fain's grandson sits at the helm, maintaining the family's tradition of fostering deep employee and customer relationships. These relationships are what allow us—together—to deliver customized compound solutions and help our customer's create better products."Manufacturing is a team sport and we work together to achieve our goals." ~Jon FainJoin the team behind our custom compounds.Schedule: 1st Shift (7:00 AM - 3:00 PM) Monday - Friday.As a Maintenance Mechanic, you will:Exhibit a safety-conscious approach to workAbide by all workplace policies and proceduresBe able and willing to effectively communicate, share information, resolve issues, and work with othersGive and receive both positive and critical feedback in a respectful and professional mannerProactively anticipate changes and respond to achieve organizational objectivesBe independently motivated to produce results.Be able to troubleshoot and maintain various mechanical problems throughout the siteHave a strong work ethic and be self-directedBe willing to continuously learn new skills and new technologiesBe able to utilize computer software programs for work-related activitiesBe able to operate a forklift and scissor liftBe punctual and demonstrate reliable attendanceBe able to complete precision work including but not limited to: Welding, Pipe Fitting, Rigging, LubricationQualifications:A minimum of a High School Diploma or GED or equivalent is required; a 2-year technical/vocational degree in a related field is strongly preferredA minimum of four (4) years relevant professional work (general mechanic, pipefitter, chemical manufacturing, refinery, etc.) is preferred.Millwright and/or precision mechanic experience is preferred.General knowledge of basic electrical gear, motors, and controls.Able to read, write, and comprehend documents in English is desired.Must be willing and able to wear Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) to include wearing safety equipment such as earplugs, gloves, safety glasses, hard hats, and steel-toed shoes are required.While performing the duties of this job, you may be required to stand; walk (up and down stairs); twist; bend; stoop, kneel, crouch, crawl or climb for extend periods of time, and will require the ability to lift and/or move up to 45 pounds is required.Teknor Apex is an equal opportunity employer and does not discriminate against any protected status under state or federal laws.
