• Perform mechanical, pneumatic, electrical, sensor, motor, and control-system troubleshooting within the technician's demonstrated training and qualifications.
• Support equipment setup, changeovers, adjustments, line trials, installations, commissioning, and production startup.
• Partner with production and Quality personnel to ensure repairs and adjustments protect product quality, fill accuracy, packaging integrity, and safe operation.

• Develop, execute, and document preventive-maintenance schedules for filling, packaging, utility, and facility equipment.
• Maintain accurate service histories, inspection records, downtime information, manuals, drawings, and equipment-specific maintenance procedures.
• Inspect equipment for wear, leaks, loose connections, guarding concerns, and other emerging failure risks before they interrupt production.
• Recommend and implement practical improvements that increase uptime, equipment life, changeover performance, maintainability, and operator safety.
• Use recurring-failure and downtime data to prioritize corrective actions and support continuous-improvement projects.
• Identify, source, and order replacement parts, tools, consumables, and critical spares while balancing urgency, quality, cost, and lead time.
• Create and maintain an organized parts library with clear part numbers, equipment associations, storage locations, minimum quantities, and reorder points.
• Monitor parts usage and availability so critical spares are on hand for high-risk equipment and commonly occurring failures.
• Coordinate with equipment manufacturers and service providers for technical support, repair services, warranties, upgrades, and replacement components.
• Participate in vendor-led technical training, including travel or schedule adjustments when required, and translate learning into internal procedures and operator guidance.

• Follow and enforce lockout/tagout, electrical safety, machine guarding, PPE, chemical-handling, flammable-liquid, and safe-work requirements.
• Maintain clean, orderly, and audit-ready maintenance work spaces, tools, parts storage, and equipment documentation.
• Support facility maintenance needs involving utilities, compressed air, lighting, docks, doors, and other building systems as assigned.
• Escalate safety, quality, compliance, or reliability risks promptly and stop work when conditions are unsafe.

• Hands-on maintenance experience with fragrance, cosmetics, personal-care, beverage, pharmaceutical, chemical, or comparable liquid-filling machinery.
• Demonstrated experience performing preventive maintenance, equipment troubleshooting, repair, and maintenance documentation in a manufacturing environment.
• Working knowledge of mechanical systems, pneumatics, pumps, motors, sensors, conveyors, and basic industrial electrical systems.
• Experience sourcing and ordering parts and maintaining an accurate, organized spare-parts inventory or parts library.
• Ability to read equipment manuals, diagrams, specifications, and technical documentation.
• Willingness and ability to work flexible hours, respond to after-hours service needs, and participate in an on-call rotation.
• Willingness to train with machine vendors and learn the latest filling, packaging, automation, and maintenance technology.
• Ability to safely lift up to 50 pounds and regularly stand, walk, bend, reach, climb, and work around manufacturing equipment.

• Direct experience maintaining PKB liquid-filling equipment.
• Bilingual English/Spanish communication skills.
• Experience in fragrance, cosmetics, beauty, personal care, or another GMP-regulated manufacturing environment.
• Technical degree, industrial-maintenance certification, electrical training, or equivalent skilled-trades education.
• Experience with PLC diagnostics, variable-frequency drives, automated controls, CMMS software, 5S, and root-cause analysis.

• Reliable equipment uptime and timely response to production interruptions
• Consistent completion of preventive-maintenance work and documentation
