Summary:

Skill level:

- A is the advanced/skilled trades role — it explicitly requires a 4-year apprenticeship or 8 years of documented field experience, plus basic-to-intermediate PLC experience.

Shift: A works 2nd or 3rd shift; C works 1st shift.

Reports to: A reports to the Maintenance Supervisor or Group Leader; C reports to the Maintenance Manager directly.

Scope of work:

- A performs advanced troubleshooting across mechanical, electrical, hydraulic, and pneumatic systems — including barrel heats, nozzle heaters, control/hard wiring, bringing utilities online (cooling towers, compressors, dryers, chillers), working inside a scissor lift or articulating boom up to 60 feet, and training other technicians. It also requires working toward Arc Flash technician certification.

- C is limited to general and preventative maintenance, minor electrical work not requiring a licensed electrician (light bulbs, fuses), minor carpentry, cleaning/lubricating/greasing equipment, and painting/staining surfaces.
