• Follow safety procedures and use appropriate personal protective equipment while working with high‑voltage and industrial equipment.
• Document maintenance activities, repairs, and parts used to maintain accurate records and support continuous improvement.
• Support production by responding promptly to machine breakdowns and returning equipment to service as quickly and safely as possible.

Employees benefit from a comprehensive rewards package that recognizes performance and supports long-term financial security.

The culture values hard work, continuous learning, and team camaraderie, creating an environment where motivated individuals can grow their skills and be appreciated for their contributions.

This role is based in a busy industrial facility with very loud noise levels and a high degree of dirt and grease due to the nature of the machinery and production processes. The environment involves working around high‑voltage milling machines and furnaces, along with extensive pneumatic systems.

You will work on 2nd shift from 2:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, alongside a small team of experienced maintenance professionals and other machine operators.
