The Mechanic works closely with production supervisors, operators, and fellow maintenance technicians to ensure equipment reliability and continuous improvement across the facility.

 

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

•      Execute scheduled preventative maintenance (PM) tasks on mixing, forming, and packaging equipment per established frequencies and procedures

•      Log all work orders, PM completions, parts usage, labor hours, and equipment downtime accurately in the CMMS

•      Review and update equipment maintenance histories; identify and escalate recurring failures for root cause analysis

•      Assist in developing and refining PM schedules to optimize equipment reliability and reduce unplanned downtime

•      Manage open work orders within the CMMS to ensure timely closure and accurate record-keeping

Mixing & Forming Equipment – Maintenance & Repair

•      Perform mechanical, electrical, pneumatic, and hydraulic diagnostics and repairs on mixing and forming machinery

•      Conduct changeovers, adjustments, and alignments on forming equipment to maintain product specifications

•      Interpret blueprints, schematics, OEM manuals, and technical drawings to guide repair and maintenance work

•      Respond promptly to equipment breakdowns, assess root cause, and execute corrective repairs to restore production

•      Support installation, commissioning, and qualification of new or modified equipment

Safety & Regulatory Compliance

•      Perform all work in strict compliance with Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) procedures, OSHA standards, and facility safety policies

•      Follow Good Manufacturing Practices (GMPs) at all times, including proper hygiene, tool control, and contamination prevention

•      Adhere to allergen control protocols during maintenance activities to prevent cross-contact

•      Participate in safety audits, incident investigations, and corrective action implementation

•      Maintain a clean, organized, and hazard-free work environment in all maintenance areas

Parts & Inventory Management

•      Order, stock, and manage spare parts inventory; ensure critical spares are available for high-risk equipment

•      Work with vendors and OEM representatives to source parts, obtain technical support, and evaluate new components

•      Track parts consumption and costs within the CMMS; flag opportunities to standardize parts across equipment

Collaboration & Communication

•      Communicate clearly with production supervisors and operators on equipment status, planned maintenance windows, and estimated repair times

•      Provide thorough shift-to-shift handoff documentation, including open issues, in-progress work, and follow-up actions

•      Collaborate with quality, sanitation, and operations teams to address maintenance-related quality or food safety concerns

•      Support training and mentorship of less experienced maintenance personnel as needed

 

QUALIFICATIONS

Required

•      High school diploma or GED; completion of a vocational/technical program in industrial maintenance, mechatronics, or related field preferred

•      Minimum 2 years of hands-on industrial maintenance experience, preferably in food, beverage, or consumer goods manufacturing

•      Proficiency in mechanical systems; working knowledge of electrical, pneumatic, and hydraulic systems

•      Ability to read and interpret blueprints, schematics, and equipment manuals

•      Experience using a CMMS for work order and PM management

•      Demonstrated understanding of LOTO procedures and industrial safety practices

•      Strong mechanical aptitude and systematic troubleshooting skills

Preferred

•      Experience with confectionery, gum, or similar food manufacturing equipment

•      Familiarity with GMP and HACCP requirements in a food production environment

•      PLC/HMI basic knowledge (Allen-Bradley, Siemens, or similar)

•      Welding, fabrication, or machining skills

•      Forklift certification
