Job Description

Step Into the Role

We’ve teamed up with a stable, well-established manufacturer to hire an experienced maintenance professional who thrives on solving complex electro‑mechanical problems in a fast-paced plant. If optimizing uptime, diagnosing tough faults, and keeping production moving sound like your kind of day, this role is for you.

The workload is approximately 70% mechanical / 30% electrical , centered on reliability, preventive maintenance, and rapid response to minimize downtime.

A Day in the Life

You start your shift walking the line, listening for unusual bearing noise near a conveyor, then pivot to a scheduled PM on a mixer gearbox. A line call comes in: an Allen‑Bradley PLC-controlled filler has faulted. You trace the issue through I/O, verify sensors, and restore production without changing code— programming not required . Before lunch, you replace a worn chain and sprocket set; later, you chase an intermittent 480V motor starter trip on a VFD-driven pump. You close the day documenting root causes and lining up parts for tomorrow’s fixes.

What You’ll Handle

• Troubleshoot, repair, and maintain industrial manufacturing assets to maximize uptime
• Execute preventive maintenance and respond quickly to breakdowns
• Diagnose mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic, and electrical faults
• Work on Allen‑Bradley PLC–controlled equipment (no programming required)
• Service motors, VFDs, starters, relays, and contactors on systems up to 480V
• Rebuild and repair conveyors, mixers, pumps, bearings, chains, sprockets, and gearboxes
• Interpret electrical schematics and mechanical drawings
• Perform root cause analysis to drive reliability improvements
• Follow LOTO and all plant safety procedures

What You Bring

• 5+ years of industrial maintenance experience
• Proven mechanical troubleshooting capability
• Hands-on experience with Allen‑Bradley PLC–controlled machinery
• Comfort working on 120/208/240/480V systems
• Hydraulics and pneumatics proficiency
• Background with conveyors, mixers, pumps, bearings, gearboxes, and other rotating equipment
• Ability to work independently and manage competing priorities

Bonus Skills

• Welding and fabrication
• Forklift and scissor lift operation
• Basic pipefitting
• GMP manufacturing exposure (food, beverage, pharmaceutical, chemical)

Work Environment & Tools

Based in a GMP facility, you’ll have the necessary tools provided. Proper PPE is required at all times—steel-toed boots, hearing protection, respirators, and any additional protective equipment as needed.

Core Strengths & Proficiencies

• Electrical and mechanical troubleshooting
• Preventive maintenance and inspection programs
• Electrical installation and high-voltage work
• Pneumatics diagnostics
• General maintenance and repair across industrial systems
• Industrial electrical systems and experience, including LOTO
• Low-voltage cabling installation

Tech You’ll Touch

• Variable Frequency Drives (VFD)
• Allen‑Bradley PLCs
• Conveyor systems
• Servo motors
