This is a full-time experienced Maintenance Mechanic position that is responsible for troubleshooting, repairing, and installing pneumatic and hydraulic systems, control valves, centrifugal and positive displacement pumps, motors, gearboxes, and conveyor belts of various types. Maintenance Mechanics are also responsible for troubleshooting and repairing AC/DC electrical systems, reading schematics, and using electrical testing equipment (Volt-Ohm meter, amp meter, megohmmeter). Our experienced Maintenance Mechanics have extensive understanding of industrial motor control and Programmable Logic Controllers.

The Team leverages a computerized maintenance management software for work documentation and parts inventory management. Experienced Maintenance Mechanics should have the skill and flexibility to work on any equipment within the facility by utilizing prints and manuals and going through our training and onboarding process. We look for industrial maintenance technicians to have basic shop fabrication skills - running a lathe, vertical mill, TIG and stick welding, using a cutting torch - and being able to use these tools safely.

This is a Multi-craft maintenance shop and you will be asked to perform interrelated repairs on electrical systems and mechanical systems.

If you do not have extensive experience, you may be better suited for one of our entry-level position. If so, we encourage you to search for the position that best fits your current skillset. Prior to the in-person interview, you will be asked to complete a hands-on electrical skills test.
