Full Time, Salary Range: $28.00 - $39.00 Hourly, Foundry Maintenance Technician

Keep the Metal Moving. Keep the Machines Running. Keep WAF – Crookston Humming.

When the foundry is running, there’s no time for “I wonder what that noise is.” We need someone who hears the noise, finds the problem, and gets things back up and running.

WAF – Crookston is looking for a Foundry Maintenance Technician who knows their way around industrial equipment, enjoys troubleshooting, and isn’t afraid to get their hands dirty.

If electrical troubleshooting, mechanical repairs, hydraulics, pneumatics, welding, and keeping production equipment alive sound like your kind of day — we want to talk to you!

As a Foundry Maintenance Technician, you’ll be one of the key players keeping our foundry operating safely, efficiently, and reliably.

Your day may include:

• Troubleshooting and repairing mechanical, electrical, hydraulic, and pneumatic systems
• Diagnosing electrical issues, including motors, controls, sensors, switches, and wiring
• Performing preventive and predictive maintenance to keep equipment running smoothly
• Working around foundry equipment where things get hot — literally
• Repairing and maintaining production machinery, conveyors, pumps, furnaces, molding equipment, and other foundry equipment
• Welding, fabrication, machining, and general maintenance as needed
• Finding the root cause of equipment problems rather than simply putting a Band-Aid on them
• Completing maintenance documentation and keeping records up to date
• Responding quickly and safely to equipment breakdowns
• Following all safety procedures, including lockout/tagout and other applicable maintenance practices
• Working closely with Production and other Maintenance team members to minimize downtime
• Identifying opportunities to improve equipment reliability, safety, and efficiency

• Have industrial maintenance experience — especially in a manufacturing or foundry environment
• Have electrical troubleshooting skills
• Understand mechanical systems and industrial equipment
• Can read and interpret electrical schematics and mechanical drawings
• Have experience with hydraulics and pneumatics
• Can troubleshoot problems logically and methodically
• Are comfortable using hand tools, power tools, meters, and maintenance equipment
• Can weld and fabricate or are willing to learn
• Take safety seriously
• Can work independently but also know how to be part of a team
• Like figuring out “Why did THAT happen?” and then making sure it doesn't happen again

We'd love to meet you if you have experience with:

• PLCs and industrial controls
• Variable frequency drives (VFDs)
• Motor controls
• Electrical troubleshooting
• Hydraulic and pneumatic systems
• Welding and fabrication
• Preventive maintenance programs
• Industrial furnaces or foundry equipment
• Automated manufacturing equipment
• Experience in an aluminum foundry or similar heavy manufacturing environment

Because keeping a foundry running is no small job — and we know the people who make it happen are important.

You’ll have the opportunity to:

• Fix things that matter.
• Use your electrical skills.
• Solve problems every day.
• Work alongside a team that depends on you.
• Build your skills and grow with WAF – Crookston.

And yes… you'll probably get dirty. That's part of the fun.

At WAF – Crookston, we believe taking care of our people is just as important as taking care of our equipment.

• Earn a competitive wage for your skills and experience, with opportunities to grow.

• Medical insurance
• Dental insurance
• Vision insurance
• Company-paid…
