• Assist with general facility maintenance and other plant needs as required.

• Complete work orders, identify replacement parts and supplies, and follow lockout/tagout and plant safety procedures.

Required Qualifications

• 5-10+ years of hands-on industrial maintenance experience; heavy manufacturing or foundry experience preferred.

• Strong mechanical troubleshooting and repair experience with industrial production equipment

• Demonstrated ability to diagnose and repair hydraulic and pneumatic systems.

• Working knowledge of 480V three-phase electrical systems, 24V control circuits, and 4-20 mA signals.

• Ability to interpret mechanical drawings, electrical schematics, manuals, and technical documentation.

• Proven ability to troubleshoot and complete repairs independently, without continuous supervision.

• Proficiency with industrial hand tools, power tools, diagnostic equipment, and maintenance instruments.

• Strong problem-solving, communication, collaboration, and willingness to support varied maintenance tasks.

• High school diploma or equivalent.

Preferred Qualifications

• Foundry, metal casting, steel processing, or other heavy industrial manufacturing experience.

• Experience maintaining industrial furnaces, particularly vacuum furnaces.

• Familiarity with industrial automation, control panels, and PLC troubleshooting.
