Maintenance Technician

Industrial Maintenance Technician

This role focuses on installing, troubleshooting, repairing, and maintaining electrical and mechanical controls and devices across a heavy industrial manufacturing facility. You support production by keeping upsetters, shears, blasters, cranes, conveyors, extrusion presses, PLCs, robotic systems, and related equipment operating safely and efficiently, while also performing building and utility maintenance within the plant.

You join a stable, heavy industrial manufacturing operation that invests in its workforce through union membership, structured progression, and clear evaluation processes. The organization offers a 401(k) plan with a matching contribution up to 4%, overtime pay after 8 hours in a workday, and shift premiums for second and third shifts. Paid time off includes 6 days after 6 months of service and 2 weeks after one year, along with 11 paid holidays following completion of the probationary period.

The facility is accessible by public transportation, supporting convenient commuting. You benefit from opportunities to advance your skills, potentially move into higher-level maintenance roles based on performance and testing, and work in an environment that values safety, reliability, and long-term employment.
