Maintenance Technician

Overview We’re hiring a Senior Multi-Craft Maintenance Technician to support and elevate a world-class manufacturing operation producing consumer chemical and body products. This facility integrates chemical batching, precision filling, and high-speed automated packaging, driven by advanced robotics, servo-controlled systems, modern instrumentation, and a range of legacy mechanical equipment. This elevated role is designed for a technician who is both a master troubleshooter and a team leader. You’ll be the go-to expert for complex mechanical, electrical, controls, and automation challenges, someone who can diagnose any issue independently, implement long-term solutions, and raise the overall technical standard of the maintenance department. The ideal technician brings deep hands-on expertise and the ability to train, coach, and guide others. You’ll help shape maintenance culture, drive CMMS accuracy, develop preventive/predictive programs, and help the team become more self-reliant and technically confident. Compensation $38 - $43 / hr Shift Options 2nd: 2:00 - 10:30pm Benefits: Health, Vision, Dental 401(k) + Match Responsibilities Advanced Mechanical Maintenance – Lead mechanical troubleshooting and repairs on mixers, batching tanks, fillers, cappers, robotics cells, conveyors, and older mechanical systems; perform expert-level rebuilds, alignments, and component replacements. Electrical & Controls Expertise – Diagnose faults in 24V–480V systems, drives, servos, encoders, robotics, and automation hardware; identify root causes quickly and implement permanent corrective actions. Automation, Robotics & Motion Systems – Serve as a subject-matter expert for robotic pick-and-place units, palletizers, motion systems, servo networks, and high-speed packaging automation; support programming, tuning, and advanced troubleshooting. Instrumentation & Vision Systems Leadership – Calibrate and maintain instrumentation including sensors, level systems, load cells, and vision inspection systems; support deeper-level configuration, tuning, and root-cause investigation. Preventive & Predictive Maintenance Program Development – Help design, refine, and implement PM and PdM strategies including condition-based monitoring, criticality assessments, and long-term reliability roadmaps. CMMS Ownership & Compliance – Champion accurate work order entry, parts tracking, failure coding, and PM completion; help establish standards and hold the team accountable to consistent documentation practices. Root Cause & Continuous Improvement – Lead systematic troubleshooting efforts, facilitate RCA sessions, and propose long-term solutions that eliminate repeat failures; contribute to process redesigns, equipment upgrades, and automation improvements. Training, Mentoring & Culture Building – Coach and develop maintenance teammates in mechanical, electrical, controls, and automation troubleshooting; help build a culture of technical excellence, ownership, and self-reliance. Cross-Functional Collaboration – Partner with production, engineering, quality, and operations leadership to improve uptime, drive reliability projects, and support cross-department problem solving. Safety, Quality & Compliance – Uphold all LOTO, environmental, regulatory, and chemical-handling standards; model safe work practices and ensure consistent compliance across the team.
