About the Role:

Dr. Squatch is seeking an experienced Maintenance Technician III to support our high-volume manufacturing and packaging operation in Brea, California.

This is not an entry-level maintenance position. We are looking for a highly skilled industrial maintenance technician who can independently troubleshoot complex manufacturing equipment, identify root causes of failures, safely perform electrical and mechanical repairs, and restore equipment to production with urgency and precision.

The ideal candidate has strong hands-on manufacturing experience and is comfortable troubleshooting systems that include 480V/3-phase electrical power, motors, VFDs, sensors, controls, conveyors, pneumatic systems, pumps, process equipment, and automated packaging machinery.

You will serve as one of the senior technical resources on the maintenance team, support less-experienced technicians, contribute to preventive and predictive maintenance programs, and help eliminate recurring equipment failures. Candidates should expect to complete a practical technical skills assessment as part of the selection process.

This is a full-time, onsite role with company benefits based in Brea, CA. This role reports to the Maintenance Supervisor. This will be for 2nd or 3rd shift schedule.

The anticipated compensation range for this role is $30 - $40 per hour. Compensation will be commensurate with the candidate's experience and local market rates.

What You’ll Do:

• Independently diagnose and repair complex electrical, mechanical, pneumatic, hydraulic, and controls-related equipment failures.
• Respond rapidly to production equipment downtime and systematically troubleshoot to identify the true root cause of failure.
• Troubleshoot industrial electrical systems including 24
  
  VDC control circuits, 120
  
  VAC control systems, 208/240
  
  VAC equipment, and 480
  
  VAC three-phase systems.
• Troubleshoot motors and motor starters, VFDs, relays and contractors, photoelectric and proximity sensors, limit switches, solenoids, power supplies, breakers and fuses, and safety circuits and interlocks.
• Use digital multimeters and other diagnostic instruments safely and effectively.
• Read and interpret electrical schematics, ladder diagrams, mechanical drawings, pneumatic diagrams, OEM manuals, and equipment documentation.
• Troubleshoot automated manufacturing and packaging equipment involving conveyors, motors, gearboxes, bearings, chains, belts, sensors, actuators, pumps, and control systems.
• Diagnose issues logically rather than relying solely on component replacement or trial-and-error.
• Perform repairs that restore equipment safely while preventing repeat failures.
• Controls & Automation
  • Troubleshoot equipment controlled by PLCs, HMIs, VFDs, sensors, and automated control systems.
  • Use PLC interfaces and diagnostic information to identify input/output, sensor, sequence, and equipment faults.
  • Understand PLC logic well enough to determine whether an issue originates from field devices, electrical circuits, mechanical systems, or control logic.
  • Troubleshoot failed sensors, switches, actuators, solenoids, relays, motors, drives, and control devices.
  • Assist Engineering and outside integrators with equipment modifications, controls improvements,…
