JOB SUMMARY
We are hiring experienced Industrial Maintenance Technicians for a food ingredient manufacturing facility in Rock City, Illinois.
This position is ideal for a mechanically strong, self-motivated technician who can troubleshoot equipment independently. The facility relies heavily on pumps, motors, valves, piping systems, and process equipment rather than traditional conveyor or packaging equipment.
The Industrial Maintenance Technician will perform preventive, corrective, and emergency maintenance to improve equipment reliability, minimize downtime, and support safe and efficient production operations.
RESPONSIBILITIES
• Troubleshoot and repair industrial production equipment and facility systems
• Diagnose mechanical, electrical, pneumatic, and hydraulic equipment problems
• Maintain and repair pumps, motors, valves, piping, and process equipment
• Respond quickly to equipment breakdowns to minimize production downtime
• Perform scheduled preventive and corrective maintenance
• Inspect motors, bearings, couplings, seals, and other rotating equipment
• Use electrical meters and diagnostic tools to identify equipment failures
• Read electrical schematics, mechanical drawings, technical manuals, and blueprints
• Complete work orders and accurately document maintenance activities in the CMMS
• Assist with equipment installations, upgrades, modifications, and improvement projects
• Participate in root cause analysis for recurring equipment failures
• Maintain tools, parts, and work areas in a clean, safe, and organized condition
• Follow OSHA, food safety, sanitation, and plant safety procedures
• Work closely with Production, Quality, and other maintenance team members
QUALIFICATIONS
• High school diploma or GED required
• At least two years of industrial or manufacturing maintenance experience preferred
• Strong mechanical troubleshooting and repair skills
• Experience maintaining industrial pumps and electric motors
• Basic knowledge of electrical systems, motor controls, and control panels
• Ability to troubleshoot equipment independently and determine the cause of failures
• Working knowledge of preventive maintenance practices
• Ability to read schematics, blueprints, and technical manuals
• Strong problem-solving skills and attention to detail
• Ability to work independently and as part of a team
• Comfortable working in a food manufacturing or regulated production environment
• Ability to perform physically demanding work and lift equipment as required
• Willingness to work either 2nd or 3rd shift
PREFERRED EXPERIENCE
• Electrical troubleshooting
• Three-phase motors and motor controls
• Variable frequency drives, or VFDs
• Programmable logic controllers, or PLCs
• Pneumatic and hydraulic systems
• Pumps, valves, seals, bearings, and rotating equipment
• Computerized Maintenance Management Systems, or CMMS
• Food, beverage, dairy, ingredient, chemical, or process manufacturing
• Technical certificate or associate degree in industrial maintenance, electrical technology, mechatronics, or a related field
IDEAL CANDIDATE
The ideal candidate is dependable, self-motivated, mechanically inclined, and able to troubleshoot equipment without constant supervision. Electrical experience is a plus, but strong mechanical ability, initiative, and independent problem-solving skills are the highest priorities.
Relevant job titles may include:
Industrial Maintenance Technician, Maintenance Mechanic, Multi-Craft Technician, Electromechanical Technician, Plant Maintenance Technician, Process Maintenance Technician, Millwright, Industrial Electrician, or Facilities Maintenance Technician.
APPLY TODAY
Qualified candidates interested in a stable, full-time opportunity on 2nd or 3rd shift are encouraged to apply. Please submit an updated resume highlighting your experience with industrial equipment, pumps, motors, electrical troubleshooting, preventive maintenance, and manufacturing operations.
