Industrial Maintenance Tech - PLCs, AC/DC Drives & 6-Day Off Blocks

Industrial Maintenance Tech – PLCs, AC/DC Drives & 6-Day Off Blocks

Up to $29.50/hr + 6-Day Monthly Block Off • Greater Green Bay Area • Rotating 12s • Direct-Hire

• Pay & Incentives: Baseline starting pay up to $29.50/hour + full comprehensive corporate benefits package, paid time off, and ongoing corporate technical training investment.
• Work Pattern/Schedule: Structured 12-Hour Rotating Shift | Predictable rhythm that naturally builds in a recurring block of 6 consecutive days off every single month.
• Environment & Culture: Direct-hire seat with an exceptionally stable, state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Greater Green Bay undergoing multi-million-dollar infrastructure expansions; tight-knit shift culture with zero toxic politics or micromanagement.
• Core Technical Scope: Mechanical and electrical troubleshooting, AC/DC motor drives, PLC logic fault-tracing, electrical schematics, mechanical blueprints, fluid power, and shift PM execution.
• Strict Requirements & Authorization: Requires 4+ years of hands-on industrial electro-mechanical maintenance (or Associate's Degree + 2 years), maximum of 2 employers in the past 5 years, US work authorization (U.S. Citizen or Green Card holder), a local commute within 45 minutes of Green Bay, WI, and occasional regional training travel (~2 days every other month).

If you are an industrial maintenance professional tired of toxic shop politics, random micromanagement, or chaotic schedules that leave you with scattered single days off, this direct-hire opportunity offers the ideal career track. Operating as an exceptionally stable, state-of-the-art manufacturing leader in the Greater Green Bay area, this facility is actively investing millions into major infrastructure expansion. Employee turnover here is remarkably low because leadership focuses heavily on long-term culture fit—people join the team, find their rhythm, and stay.

The maintenance team functions as a tight-knit unit where technicians collaborate, look out for one another, and solve problems without corporate red tape. Best of all, the structured 12-hour rotating schedule is built specifically to maximize your time away from the shop. By grouping work shifts together, the schedule naturally delivers a massive, recurring block of six consecutive days off every single month—giving you uninterrupted stretches of time to travel, hunt, fish, or spend time with family that traditional schedules simply can't match.

What You Will Be Doing (Daily Responsibilities)

• Execute Electro-Mechanical Repairs: Perform comprehensive mechanical and electrical troubleshooting, component overhauls, and emergency breakdown repairs across automated production machinery.
• Troubleshoot AC/DC Motor Drives: Diagnose, calibrate, and resolve operational faults within complex AC and DC variable-speed motor drive systems and industrial power controls.
• Trace PLC Logic & Electrical Faults: Interface with industrial PLCs to trace electrical logic, isolate system input/output errors, and rapidly clear line stoppages.
• Analyze Technical Schematics: Read and apply complex multi-page electrical schematics, mechanical blueprints, and ladder diagrams to execute safe, precise equipment overhauls.
• Lead Shift Hand-Offs & PMs: Maintain clear communication during shift hand-offs to preserve operational continuity and drive structured preventative maintenance routines.
• Participate in Regional Upskilling: Travel occasionally (roughly two days every other month) to participate in advanced technical training seminars or collaborate on regional operational goals.
