Job Description

Industrial Mechatronics Maintenance Specialist

DirectPath Recruiting Services has teamed up with a premier manufacturer to add multi-skilled maintenance talent to their plant team. If you’re equally comfortable diagnosing a servo fault as you are aligning a gearbox, this role will let you put your full toolkit to work.

• Starting pay: $27.00/hour minimum (commensurate with experience)
• Shift options: 2nd & 3rd shift openings
• Shift premiums:
  • 2nd Shift (2:30 PM – 11:00 PM): +$1.25/hour
  • 3rd Shift (10:30 PM – 7:00 AM): +$1.00/hour

Your shift kicks off with a quick pass through the lines—listening for bearing chatter, scanning drive data, and checking predictive maintenance tasks. You’ll jump from a PLC input issue on a weld cell to aligning a newly installed conveyor, then close the night commissioning a CNC after a spindle swap. Expect to:

• Restore production by repairing or replacing worn components using hand and power tools.
• Diagnose and fix issues across CNC equipment, industrial robots, PLC-controlled systems, electrical circuits, hydraulics, pneumatics, and mechanical assemblies.
• Execute preventive and predictive maintenance routines to push uptime higher.
• Inspect motors, VFDs/drives, belts, bearings, filters, fluid levels, and other critical parts.
• Use blueprints, electrical schematics, manuals, and technical documentation to identify root causes and define corrective actions.
• Assemble, install, and repair electrical wiring, controls, machinery, and production assets.
• Test, measure, and operate equipment to verify and resolve electrical and mechanical malfunctions.
• Document work performed and maintain accurate maintenance records.
• Tackle welding, cutting, fabrication, and metal repair as needed.
• Install, level, align, and commission new manufacturing equipment.
• Apply precision tools—calipers, micrometers, and diagnostic instruments—for accurate setup and troubleshooting.
• Champion safety and continuous improvement in every task.

• Proven experience troubleshooting CNC machining centers and related equipment.
• Hands-on PLC troubleshooting; programming experience a plus.
• Robotics experience (Fanuc, Motoman, ABB, etc.) including programming and diagnostics.
• Strong electrical maintenance background—motors, drives, sensors, and control circuits.
• Mechanical expertise with hydraulics, pneumatics, bearings, and power transmission.
• Welding and fabrication capability.
• Confidence reading and interpreting electrical schematics and blueprints.
• Manufacturing or automotive industry background preferred.

• Competitive starting pay of $27.00+/hour based on experience
• Shift premiums for off-shift schedules
• Stable manufacturing environment
• Career growth opportunities
• Overtime opportunities available
• Comprehensive benefits package

• Building and executing preventive maintenance plans
• Mechanical troubleshooting expertise
• Electrical diagnostics and repair
• General maintenance and equipment repair capability
• Industrial electrical experience and systems knowledge
• Strict Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) practice
• Exposure to automotive manufacturing systems
