Maintenance Technician

Overview

We're seeking a skilled Multi-Craft Maintenance Technician to join a world-class manufacturing operation producing consumer chemical and body products. This facility combines chemical batching, precision filling, and high-speed automated packaging, supported by both modern servo-driven equipment and older mechanically intensive machinery.

This is a role for a true subject-matter expert: someone who can independently troubleshoot complex problems, drive root-cause solutions, and keep advanced production lines running at peak performance. You'll work across mechanical systems, electrical distribution, controls, pneumatics, robotics, instrumentation, and sensor-driven automation. The ideal technician is hands-on, curious, collaborative, and capable of bridging both legacy equipment and cutting-edge production technologies.

We value craftsmanship, problem-solving, and positive team culture, and we're looking for technicians who take pride in doing the job right and supporting those around them.

Requirements

Responsibilities

• Mechanical Equipment Maintenance - Repair, rebuild, and maintain production equipment including mixers, batching tanks, fillers, cappers, conveyors, gearboxes, pumps, and mechanical assemblies on both legacy and modern lines.
• Electrical & Controls Troubleshooting - Diagnose issues with 24V-480V systems, motors, sensors, drives, relays, and control panels; rapidly identify root causes in systems driven by servos, encoders, and automation hardware.
• Automation & Robotics Support - Troubleshoot faults on packaging robots, servo-driven pick-and-place units, tray loaders, and automated palletizing systems; support reliability of integrated motion systems.
• Instrumentation & Vision Systems - Maintain and calibrate sensors, level switches, safety devices, load cells, and vision inspection systems used for fill verification, label alignment, cap presence, and quality checks.
• Pneumatic & Hydraulic Systems - Repair valves, cylinders, actuators, air manifolds, and fluid power components used across filling and packaging equipment.
• Preventive & Predictive Maintenance - Execute PM programs including lubrication, belt and chain inspections, wear component replacement, electrical checks, and sensor alignment to minimize downtime.
• Root Cause Analysis - Lead troubleshooting efforts to identify recurring problems, propose long-term solutions, and prevent repeated equipment failures without relying on engineering escalation.
• Continuous Improvement - Recommend process upgrades, equipment modifications, and reliability improvements to enhance uptime, safety, and efficiency across the plant.
• Collaboration & Communication - Work closely with operators, maintenance teammates, engineering, and production leadership; maintain clear logs of repairs, parts usage, downtime, and recommended improvements.
• Safety & Compliance - Follow LOTO and all facility safety procedures; uphold quality, environmental, and regulatory standards in a chemical-handling and consumer production environment.
