Job Description

Maintenance Lead — Direct Hire — $28–$32/hr

Elgin, IL | 1st Shift, Monday–Friday, 6:00 AM–2:30 PM | Direct Hire

Are you a hands-on maintenance pro who's comfortable troubleshooting machines and keeping production running? A metal manufacturing company in the northwest suburbs is looking for a Maintenance Lead to join their team on a direct-hire basis.

This is a great fit for someone who takes pride in keeping equipment running, enjoys variety day to day, and wants to be part of a stable, growing manufacturing team.

What You'll Do:

Inspect machinery and equipment to keep operations safe and running smoothly
Perform preventive maintenance inspections (PMIs) on a set schedule
Troubleshoot and repair production machinery and shop equipment
Support other areas of the shop floor as production needs shift
Read shop drawings and use basic math for maintenance and production tasks
Keep your work area clean, organized, and safe

What We're Looking For:

5+ years of experience in metal fabrication, welding, tool and die, or a similar manufacturing environment
Hands-on machine repair and maintenance experience, including PMIs
Strong mechanical aptitude and ability to read shop drawings
Good communication skills and basic math ability
High school diploma or equivalent (trade school or technical degree a plus)

Nice to Have:

Prior lead or supervisory experience
Bilingual (Spanish/English)

Why You'll Like It Here:

Direct hire — this is a permanent position, not a temp assignment
Consistent 1st shift schedule, Monday–Friday
Competitive pay based on experience
Variety in your day-to-day — no two days look exactly the same
