Our facility includes CNC machining, assembly, heat treat, paint, and materials operations. The ideal candidate has a strong industrial maintenance background supporting production-critical manufacturing equipment and thrives in a fast-paced manufacturing environment where uptime, reliability, and responsiveness are essential.

What You'll Do

• Troubleshoot, diagnose, and repair complex industrial manufacturing equipment and systems
• Support CNC machining centers, lathes, grinders, assembly equipment, heat treat furnaces, paint systems, conveyors, and facility infrastructure
• Perform advanced troubleshooting on:
• Mechanical systems
• Industrial electrical systems
• PLC-controlled equipment
• Hydraulic and pneumatic systems
• Servo motors, drives, sensors, and controls
• Execute preventive and predictive maintenance activities to minimize downtime and improve equipment reliability
• Lead or support machine rebuilds, upgrades, installations, and continuous improvement projects
• Utilize CMMS systems to manage work orders, document repairs, and track maintenance activity
• Perform root cause analysis and implement corrective actions to prevent recurring failures
• Support emergency equipment repairs in a production-driven environment
• Maintain safe work practices including lockout/tagout and OSHA compliance
• Provide technical guidance and mentorship to less experienced maintenance personnel

Required Experience & Qualifications

Preferred Qualifications

• Associate degree or technical certification in Industrial Maintenance, Electro-Mechanical Technology, Electrical Maintenance, or related field
• Experience with vacuum heat treat systems or furnace equipment
• Welding and fabrication experience
• Experience in lean manufacturing or continuous improvement environments

What Sets This Role Apart

This position is heavily focused on true industrial maintenance work in a manufacturing environment — not facilities-only maintenance. The successful candidate must be comfortable troubleshooting complex production equipment under real manufacturing demands where downtime directly impacts operations.
