• Follow preventative maintenance schedules, document completed work, and help strengthen and rebuild the maintenance program under evolving department leadership.
• Demonstrate flexibility by supporting overtime, weekend work, and responding to weather-related or facility emergencies when required.
• Use hand and power tools, construction materials, and appropriate PPE to complete maintenance tasks safely and efficiently.

• Strong mechanical aptitude with the ability to understand machinery, equipment, and mechanical systems.

• Experience working in a manufacturing, machine shop, or automotive repair environment.
• Comfort working both indoors and outdoors in a non-temperature-controlled facility.
• Willingness to learn from experienced mechanics and grow into more advanced maintenance responsibilities over time.

You join a stable manufacturing organization that offers long-term career paths rather than short-term jobs, with a strong promote-from-within culture and average employee tenure of 12–15 years. Contractors are regularly converted to permanent employees, and a newly hired maintenance leader is actively modernizing and improving the department, creating significant opportunities to grow your skills and advance your career. Once hired directly, you gain access to a competitive benefits package, and all required PPE is provided at no cost. The culture is friendly, welcoming, and team-focused, with employees who enjoy helping new hires succeed, frequent company-hosted cookouts and events, and strong collaboration across the plant. Workplace amenities include a large, clean cafeteria, free coffee, refrigerators for lunches, and onsite vending machines, all supporting a comfortable, employee-focused environment.

The role is based in a manufacturing and machine shop environment that is not temperature controlled, so you work in varying seasonal conditions. You operate around automated manufacturing equipment, manual machinery, production lines, and facility systems in a hands-on, active maintenance shop similar to an automotive repair facility or machine shop. The department is evolving under new leadership focused on strengthening preventative maintenance programs and improving overall operations, offering the chance to contribute to building better processes while gaining valuable experience. You spend most of your shift standing and walking, frequently bending, kneeling, crouching, climbing, and reaching, and you regularly lift up to 35 pounds and operate pallet jacks to move materials. Work occurs both indoors and outdoors as needed, including snow removal and grounds maintenance. The overall culture is welcoming and team-oriented, with engaged, collaborative employees who have built long tenures and work comfortably together in a supportive environment. Typical hours are 7:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., with occasional earlier start times (no earlier than 6:00 a.m.) and overtime or weekend work to address maintenance or weather-related needs. PPE is provided and expected to be worn appropriately while working around machinery and equipment.
