Step into a day on our line

You arrive at a KIK Consumer Products facility where trusted brands like Spic and Span®, Comet®, and Clorox® Pool&Spa™ (under license) come to life. Your first task: bring a high-speed packaging line online. You fine-tune conveyors, verify changeovers, and consult your notes from prior runs. When an operator flags an irregular motor draw, you trace the issue through 120/208/240/480V circuits, check the VFD parameters, and get the system back to spec—safely and efficiently.

What you’ll make happen

• Set up and change over production equipment to meet the day’s schedule and quality targets.
• Partner with operators to isolate issues; troubleshoot root causes and execute repairs.
• Use technical manuals and schematics; document adjustments and modifications so future setups and conveyor/machine tweaks are repeatable.
• Complete corrective repairs to keep assets in peak condition.
• Perform major mechanical overhauls on select packaging machinery.
• Diagnose motor and electrical problems; verify that systems are operating and configured properly.
• Execute preventive maintenance and continuously improve PM plans.
• Recommend design improvements; carry out approved equipment modifications.
• Follow SOPs, safety protocols, and GMP requirements at all times.
• Provide coverage for mechanics on other shifts when required.
• Work independently when needed and collaborate closely with a strong team.
• Take on additional tasks as assigned.

Note: This summary describes the role’s primary duties and scope; responsibilities may evolve or expand based on business needs.

What you bring

• 4+ years of mechanical experience in a high-speed packaging or manufacturing setting (food industry experience is a strong plus).
• Associate degree in electronics or an Electrical Diploma/Certificate with 3+ years of experience, or 5+ years of directly related experience.
• Clear written and verbal communication; strong interpersonal skills.
• Hands-on understanding of preventive maintenance programs.
• Flexibility to work days, afternoons, or nights as needed.
• Ability to juggle priorities in a fast-paced, frequently changing environment.
• Expertise in Health & Safety practices and Lockout/Tagout procedures.
• Exposure to CMMS systems is an asset.
• Detail orientation with a customer-service mindset.
• Team-first attitude and excellent problem-solving ability.
