Step into a hands-on maintenance role that keeps our plant moving

Picture this: it’s 8:00 AM in Redmond, Oregon. You walk the floor with our Lead Maintenance Technician, checking a packaging line, tightening a guard, and planning a quick install before lunch. In the afternoon, you swap out a worn roller, log a preventive inspection, and coach a production teammate on equipment care. You wrap the day with tools organized, equipment humming, and a sense of pride in a safe, efficient facility that makes high‑quality supplements and treats for companion animals.
