• Complete preventative maintenance documentation and work orders.
• Assist with snow removal and property maintenance as needed.
• Follow all company safety policies, including Lockout/Tagout, confined space, welding safety, fall protection, and hazardous waste procedures.
• Maintain a clean and organized work area.
• Serve as the primary maintenance resource during 2nd shift, supporting production personnel and toolmakers with equipment repairs and troubleshooting.

• Someone who is comfortable working independently after training.
• Strong troubleshooting ability with excellent mechanical aptitude.
• Self-motivated, dependable, and capable of prioritizing maintenance issues on their own.
• Team-oriented individual who communicates well with supervisors, production personnel, and toolmakers.

Compensation & Benefits

• $29.50-$36.85/hour, depending on experience and qualifications.
