Job Description

Industrial Maintenance Mechanic — Mojave, CA

We’re hiring now. Help us keep mission-critical manufacturing equipment running at peak performance so customers get quality products when they need them.

Compensation & Schedule

• Pay: $30.00 – $36.69 per hour, based on experience and skill
• Shifts:
  • Weekday Nights: 5:00pm – 1:00am
  • Weekend Nights: 5:00pm – 5:00am (Friday – Sunday)
  • Weekend Days: 5:00am – 5:00pm (Friday – Sunday)

What a typical day could look like

You arrive for shift handoff, review open work orders, and prioritize a preventive maintenance round. You clean, lubricate, align, and calibrate critical assets to keep uptime high. Mid-shift, a production line throws a fault—you quickly diagnose the issue, test components, and swap a worn part to get the line back in spec. Before clocking out, you document work performed, recommend a minor design tweak to improve yield, and log a follow-up inspection for the next cycle.

What you’ll do

• Execute routine service: cleaning, lubrication, part alignment/adjustment, and calibration.
• Test, troubleshoot, and repair mechanical and electrical equipment; source and install replacement parts.
• Perform preventive and corrective maintenance across plant systems to minimize downtime.
• Analyze equipment failures and propose improvements to availability, capability, and yield.
• Create clear maintenance documentation and technical reports for modifications and procedures.

What you bring

• Ability to consistently lift 50 lbs.
• Willingness to work overtime as needed.
• 1–5 years of relevant maintenance experience preferred.
• Foundational electrical skills in a manufacturing setting preferred.
