A day in the life

You arrive before sunrise, suit up, and step onto the floor of a fast-paced food manufacturing facility. Production is already humming, and you’re the specialist everyone counts on to keep it that way. Your morning may start with a PLC fault on a packaging line; by mid-day you’re deep into a root-cause analysis on a hydraulic leak; before shift end, you’ve overhauled a gearbox and updated every detail in SAP—so the next run is safer, faster, and more reliable.

What you’ll take on

• Diagnose and restore electrical and mechanical production equipment to optimal performance.
• Execute preventive maintenance, inspections, corrective repairs, and full equipment rebuilds.
• Troubleshoot pneumatics, hydraulics, AC/DC motors, and related industrial subsystems.
• Interpret electrical/mechanical schematics, blueprints, manuals, and P&IDs to solve complex issues.
• Perform root cause analysis on breakdowns to prevent repeat failures and improve uptime.
• Fabricate or modify components and assemblies when needed to enhance reliability and safety.
• Document all work orders, parts usage, and findings accurately in SAP.
• Operate with safety first—following LOTO, Arc Flash, GMP, PPE, and all plant safety procedures.

What you bring

• Hands-on industrial/manufacturing maintenance experience strongly preferred.
• Exceptional electro-mechanical troubleshooting skills and independent problem-solving ability.
• Proficiency reading electrical and mechanical prints and diagrams.
• Background with preventive and corrective maintenance programs.
• Capability to work independently diagnosing and repairing production equipment.
• Must be able to pass Campbell’s plant-specific maintenance assessment.
• High school diploma/GED and technical education preferred, but not required.

Core strengths

• Mechanical troubleshooting and component repair expertise.
• Comfort working with 120/208/240/480V industrial power systems.
• Pneumatics troubleshooting and system tuning.

Tech you’ll touch

• Variable Frequency Drives (VFD)
• Programmable Logic Controller (PLC)
• Conveyor Systems
