A well-established, industry-leading direct mail and transactional print manufacturer is seeking experienced Maintenance Technicians to join its high-speed production operation. This is a hands‑on role for a skilled electromechanical technician who thrives in a fast‑paced manufacturing environment and takes pride in keeping complex, high‑speed equipment running at peak performance. You’ll play a direct role in production uptime — diagnosing issues, performing repairs, and driving a strong preventive‑maintenance culture across the floor.

This is a stable, long‑term opportunity with an established employer that offers consistent hours, strong benefits, and real job security.

• Perform proactive, preventive, and emergency maintenance on high‑speed mailing, inserting, and production equipment to ensure optimum uptime and productivity.

• Diagnose and calibrate in‑machine camera and vision systems, conveyors, and control systems.
• Read and interpret equipment manuals, job tickets, and work orders to complete required maintenance and service.
• Support production needs as required, including line changeovers and keeping machines running to schedule.
• Work within a structured preventive‑maintenance program — tracking, prioritizing, and completing scheduled service.
• Comply fully with OSHA safety and health standards, working with safety and urgency at all times.

• Maintenance experience in a mailing, packaging, or high‑speed print/production environment (essential).
• Hands‑on set‑up and troubleshooting of high‑speed inserting equipment — experience with MPS, APS, Epic, Bell & Howell, Kirk‑Rudy, Pitney Bowes/Blue Crest
  , or similar insert systems (e.g., swingarm, Flowmaster) is strongly preferred.
• Strong electromechanical troubleshooting skills across mechanical, electrical, pneumatic, and hydraulic systems.
• Experience working within a preventive‑maintenance program in a manufacturing setting.
• Comfort operating the on‑board control computers on production equipment; proficient with MS Office (Outlook, Word, Excel) and basic PC use.
• Strong problem‑solving, decision‑making, and communication skills.
• English fluency (reading, writing, speaking) required;
  bilingual Spanish a plus
  .

Also considered: technicians from adjacent high‑speed, electromechanical backgrounds — such as robotics, CNC, or production printer/copier service — with strong hands‑on troubleshooting experience.

• Regulated manufacturing print/mail production facility.
• Ability to stand and walk up to 12 hours, with frequent bending, kneeling, and reaching.
• Ability to lift, push, or pull up to 50 pounds and perform repetitive motions in a fast‑paced environment.
