Concrete Batch Plant Electromechanical Technician

Job Description

Job Description

Step into a day that keeps concrete flowing across North America

It’s 6:00 a.m. on the catwalk above the aggregate bins. A VFD shows a fault, a dust collector needs new bags, and production kicks off in 30 minutes. You pop the control panel, trace the circuit, swap a sensor, and log the work in the CMMS. By lunch you’ve tuned a load cell, PM’d the compressor, and welded a cracked hopper lip. By end of shift, the batch plant is running full tilt—exactly how you like it.

About the role

As a Ready Mix plant expert in both mechanics and electricity, you’ll keep our fixed batching assets at peak performance: mixers, batchers, conveyors, silos, dust collection, water/admixture metering, and all related structural and electrical systems. This position focuses on stationary equipment only—no mixer truck or fleet vehicle repair. Starting at $34/hour.

What you’ll tackle

• Diagnose and repair fixed plant gear: batchers, mixers, conveyors, aggregate bins, cement/fly ash silos, and dust collectors
• Service and troubleshoot electrical systems, including motor starters, VFDs, PLCs (Allen‑Bradley preferred), control panels, sensors, and load cell/scale equipment
• Execute preventive maintenance on all stationary assets according to PM schedules
• Identify and fix hydraulic and pneumatic components: gates, slide gates, actuators, air compressors, and cylinders
• Resolve issues with batch controls, water/admixture metering, silo level indicators, and bin vibrators
• Weld and fabricate to restore chutes, hoppers, walkways, ladders, and structural parts (MIG/stick)
• Respond rapidly to breakdowns with a safety-first approach to minimize downtime
• Document work orders, parts, and labor in the CMMS; manage stock of wear parts and consumables
• Inspect and maintain dust collectors, baghouses, and pressure relief systems for compliance
• Follow LOTO, confined space, fall protection, and all site safety procedures—no exceptions
• Coach junior mechanics on troubleshooting methods
• Participate in an on-call rotation for nights/weekends as needed

What you’ll bring

• 3+ years maintaining fixed/stationary industrial equipment (ready mix, aggregate, concrete, or heavy industrial)
• Fluency in industrial electrical: motor controls, VFDs, PLCs (Allen‑Bradley), and 480V 3‑phase
• Ability to troubleshoot Jonel batching system controls and panel wiring, or willingness to learn our platform
• Working knowledge of hydraulics and pneumatics
• Read electrical/hydraulic schematics and wiring diagrams
• Own basic hand tools (we supply specialty/heavy tools)
• Comfort working outdoors, at heights, and in confined spaces (with training and PPE)
• Independent, methodical troubleshooter who performs well with limited supervision

Preferred extras

• Journeyman electrician license or equivalent industrial electrical training
• Hands-on experience with Jonel or comparable batch control systems
• MIG/stick welding and light fabrication
• Maintenance experience with silos, baghouses, or dust collection
• Background in concrete, pipe, aggregate, or heavy manufacturing

Physical demands

• Lift and carry up to 50 lbs regularly; up to 75 lbs with assistance on occasion
• Frequent standing, kneeling, bending, climbing; work in tight/elevated spaces (silo tops, catwalks, conveyor structures)
• Outdoor work in heat, cold, and inclement weather typical of a plant/yard

Pay and benefits
