• Perform basic plumbing, electrical, and carpentry tasks—such as fixing leaky pipes, replacing worn wiring, or repairing doors and guards.
• Use hand and power tools, electric meters, and material-handling equipment (e.g., forklifts, pallet jacks) safely and effectively.
• Assist with snow removal and grounds maintenance tasks (e.g., operating snow blowers, lawn mowers) during winter months.
• Comply with all safety regulations—wear required PPE, follow lockout/tagout procedures, and maintain clean, orderly work areas.
• Implement and document preventive maintenance measures, maintain an accurate inventory of repair equipment and supplies, and complete facility inspections.
• Respond swiftly to emergency breakdowns: notify appropriate personnel, follow emergency protocols, and restore operations as quickly as possible.
• Perform other maintenance duties as requested to support continuous improvement and safety initiatives.

• High school diploma or GED required.
• At least one (1) year of related maintenance experience in a manufacturing or production environment preferred.
