This is a hands-on position for someone who enjoys working with machinery, diagnosing problems, making repairs, and learning how specialized production equipment operates. Our facility manufactures highly secure financial products , so equipment reliability, product quality, confidentiality, safety, and strict adherence to established procedures are critical to our operation.

• Troubleshoot mechanical, electrical, pneumatic, sensor, motor, conveyor, and other equipment-related problems.
• Use a logical, step-by-step approach to identify the source of equipment failures.
• Read basic schematics, wiring diagrams, equipment manuals, and technical documentation to assist with troubleshooting.
• Use hand tools, power tools, meters, and other maintenance equipment safely.
• Determine when an issue can be corrected independently and when additional technical assistance is required.
• Communicate equipment problems and repair status clearly to production and maintenance personnel.
• Help identify recurring problems and opportunities to improve equipment reliability.

Specialized Production Equipment:
You will learn to maintain and support specialized equipment used in the production and processing of secure financial products, including equipment associated with:

• High-speed printing and personalization
• Document processing
• Folding and finishing
• Automated inserting and mailing
• Conveying and material handling
• Sensors and automated machine controls
• Industrial printing and production systems

Previous experience with this exact equipment is not required. Training will be provided.

Equipment Setup & Projects:

• Support machine setup, calibration, adjustments, and production changeovers.
• Assist with installation and commissioning of new production equipment.
• Assist with equipment upgrades, modifications, and improvement projects.
• Help remove, relocate, or replace obsolete equipment.
• Work with maintenance and production personnel during equipment installations and upgrades.
• Support testing of equipment following repairs, adjustments, or modifications.

Preventative Maintenance & Documentation:
Accurate documentation is an important part of this position.
You will:

• Complete preventative maintenance tasks according to established schedules.
• Document equipment inspections, repairs, adjustments, and parts used.
• Maintain accurate maintenance records and work orders.
• Communicate equipment conditions and outstanding issues to the appropriate team members.
• Help track recurring equipment problems and recommend solutions.
• Maintain an organized maintenance area and properly store tools and parts.

• Follow applicable lockout/tagout and machine-safety procedures.
• Properly use required personal protective equipment.
• Maintain a clean and organized work area.
• Report safety, quality, equipment, or security concerns promptly.
• Understand that following procedures is an essential part of the job—not an optional administrative requirement.

What We're Looking For:
The ideal candidate will have:

• 3–5 years of hands-on experience in equipment maintenance, manufacturing, industrial maintenance, mechanical repair, equipment service, or a related technical field.
• High school diploma or equivalent.
• Solid mechanical aptitude and hands-on troubleshooting ability.
• Basic-to-intermediate electrical troubleshooting knowledge.
• Familiarity with pneumatic systems and industrial equipment.
• Ability to safely operate common hand tools and power tools.
• Ability to read and understand basic schematics, wiring diagrams, manuals, or technical documentation.
• Strong problem-solving skills and attention to detail.
• Ability to work independently on routine equipment issues.
• Ability to recognize when a problem requires additional technical support.
• Strong communication and teamwork skills.
• Dependable attendance and a strong work ethic.
• Willingness to learn specialized production equipment and processes.

We are specifically interested in technicians who have developed a good foundation over approximately 3–5 years and are ready to expand their technical skills.

Training & Development:
You will receive training on our specialized production equipment, processes, safety requirements, and security procedures.
