Why You'll Love This Role

Forget fixing leaky faucets or painting walls. This is a true technician's role in a premier metals processing facility. You aren't just \"maintenance\"-you are the backbone of our production.

• Machine-First Culture: We value your brain as much as your toolbox. You'll spend your time on complex industrial machinery like Slitters, Shears, and Cut-to-Length lines.
• The \"Sweet Spot\" Shift: Reclaim your mornings and avoid the 5:00 PM rush hour. Our 2nd shift offers a better lifestyle balance than traditional midnight rotations.
• A Proactive Environment: We don't just \"run to fail.\" We prioritize high-level preventative maintenance, giving you the time to do the job right the first time.

• Modern Shop: Work in a clean, organized environment with the specialized diagnostic tools you need.
• Industry Stability: Metals processing is a backbone industry. Enjoy year-round stability with consistent OT opportunities to boost your take-home pay.
• Full Benefits: Access to premium healthcare, 401(k) matching, and PTO starting from day one.
• Autonomy: We hire experts and treat them as such. You'll have the independence to diagnose and solve problems without being micromanaged.

Your Mission

As our 2nd shift expert, you are the \"detective\" on the floor:

• Advanced Troubleshooting: Master the repair of 480V 3-phase power, DC motors, and complex hydraulic/pneumatic circuits.
• Strategic PMs: Execute a sophisticated maintenance program to ensure zero downtime.
• Diverse Challenges: Keep our fleet of forklifts and overhead cranes in top shape, utilizing your welding and fabrication skills when the situation calls for it.

What You Bring to the Table

• The Experience: 5+ years in industrial maintenance (Heavy manufacturing or metals experience is a huge plus).
• The Mindset: You enjoy the challenge of diagnosing an intermittent electrical fault or a pressure drop.
• Technical Edge: High proficiency in 3-phase wiring and motor controls is a must.
