Job Description

Build trusted home and pool-care products with a team that has your back

At KIK Consumer Products, we power the brands that help families keep their homes and pools clean, sanitized, and safe. We value accountability, collaboration, agility, and doing the right thing—always. As one of North America’s leading independent manufacturers, we turn ideas into products for many household-name and private-label brands.

Your shift and pay

Join us as a Mechanic Level 2 on 2nd Shift. Your schedule will be 3:30 pm – 12:00 am (with weekends per business need). This position has a base hourly rate ranging from $32.00 to $35.00, plus a second shift differential of $0.50 based on skills and experience.

A day in this role

You’ll be the go-to pro who keeps high-speed processing and packaging lines humming. From preventive maintenance to nimble troubleshooting, you’ll partner closely with operations to minimize downtime, support changeovers, and complete work safely around chemicals such as bleach while using all required PPE.

What you’ll tackle

• Modify, repair, install, maintain, improve, and troubleshoot production machinery, equipment, and facility systems for processing and packaging.
• Diagnose mechanical issues and deliver timely repairs using fitting, plumbing, basic welding, metal fabrication, machining, and analytical problem-solving skills.
• Use machine-shop and hand tools—mill, lathe, drill press, grinders, and saws—to make or repair parts as directed.
• Execute preventive maintenance and safety inspections; record findings and work orders in the CMMS and help plan/schedule down-day activities.
• Set up, tear down, and relocate processing and packaging equipment; support equipment changeovers for new products and sizes.
• Troubleshoot and repair basic electrical components: motors, sensors, photo-eyes, relays, variable speed drives, and 120–480 VAC circuits; escalate complex PLC/control issues to senior technicians when needed.
• Respond rapidly to breakdowns with a customer-service mindset; communicate status and parts needs; follow all Health & Safety, Lockout/Tagout, GMP, and PPE protocols.

What you bring

• High School Diploma or GED.
• 3+ years in mechanical maintenance within high-speed packaging, bottling, or similar manufacturing.
• 2+ years of mechanical and electrical troubleshooting.
• 2+ years of basic welding (strongly preferred).
• Hands-on strength in hydraulics and pneumatics, basic welding/fabrication, and the ability to interpret equipment manuals, blueprints, and simple schematics.
• Working knowledge of industrial electrical systems at a maintenance-mechanic level (motors, drives, low-voltage controls) and safe practices around 120–480 VAC.
• Experience with a CMMS for work orders, parts tracking, and preventive maintenance (preferred).
• Comfort working around chemicals and in temperature-controlled and non-temperature-controlled, high-noise areas while wearing required PPE, including a full-face respirator as needed.
• Clear communication, strong interpersonal skills, attention to detail, and a customer-first approach in a fast-paced setting.

Physical requirements

• Occasionally exert up to 50 lbs of force (up to one-third of the shift) and frequently exert 10–25 lbs (one-third to two-thirds), including lifting, pushing, pulling, and carrying parts and tools.
• Regularly handle and move objects up to 10 lbs throughout the shift (two-thirds or more of the time).
• Frequently climb, balance, stoop, kneel, crouch, crawl, twist, and reach into/under/around equipment for inspections and repairs.
• Ability to visually inspect parts, read gauges and displays, and hear alarms/equipment signals, with or without reasonable accommodation.

Benefits and growth

We offer competitive pay and a comprehensive benefits package—health, wellness, dental, vision, life, and disability insurance—plus retirement savings with employer match and Education Assistance to support your ongoing development.
