Maintenance Technician

Maintenance Technician

Join a skilled maintenance team supporting a highly automated food production facility that operates on a 2-2-3 schedule. You will work on three production lines, including a newly installed, advanced line, focusing on keeping equipment running safely and efficiently. The role currently involves a high level of reactive maintenance, with a strong goal to transition toward more preventative maintenance as the team grows.

You will work in a food manufacturing environment, follow strict food safety protocols, and support production of frozen sandwich products in a colder facility.

• Perform mechanical and electrical maintenance on production equipment, including conveyors, vision systems, suction systems, servo motors, belts, and wrappers.
• Diagnose and troubleshoot equipment issues quickly to minimize downtime in a high-volume food production environment.
• Conduct reactive maintenance on existing production lines while helping the team shift toward more preventative maintenance practices.
• Support installation, adjustment, and optimization of highly automated equipment on the new production line.
• Follow and enforce food safety protocols and hygiene standards at all times while working in a food manufacturing facility.
• Inspect equipment regularly to identify potential problems and recommend corrective actions before failures occur.
• Collaborate with other maintenance technicians on a crew of up to eight team members to coordinate repairs and share technical knowledge.
• Document maintenance activities, repairs, and parts used to maintain accurate records and support continuous improvement.
• Work safely in a colder production environment, adhering to facility safety procedures and using appropriate tools and equipment.
• Provide support across multiple shifts on a 2-2-3 schedule, ensuring consistent equipment reliability for both day and night operations.

• At least 5 years of maintenance experience within an industrial setting, with the ability to work independently without extensive training.
• Strong mechanical and electrical maintenance skills, including hands-on work with conveyors, servo motors, belts, suction systems, and wrappers.
• Proven troubleshooting ability to quickly identify root causes of equipment failures and implement effective repairs.
• Experience working in a food manufacturing or food maintenance environment with adherence to food safety protocols.
• Comfort working in a colder production environment while maintaining productivity and attention to detail.
• Ability to work effectively on a small maintenance team of approximately eight technicians in a fast-paced setting.
• Capability to work a 2-2-3 schedule covering 5am–5pm or 5pm–5am shifts, including nights.

• Hands-on experience with automated production lines that use vision systems, sensors, and servo-driven components.
• Familiarity with food processing equipment and practices, including sanitation considerations in maintenance work.
• Experience supporting highly automated systems with multiple conveyors, eyes, and vision systems.
• Practical, on-the-job maintenance experience is valued more highly than formal degrees for this role.
• Strong communication skills to coordinate work with other technicians and production staff.
• Ability to adapt to evolving maintenance strategies, including a transition from reactive to preventative maintenance.

You will join a growing maintenance team in a modern, highly automated food production facility where your experience is genuinely valued. The environment offers a clear focus on improving maintenance practices, giving you the chance to help shape the transition from reactive to preventative maintenance and contribute to long-term reliability improvements. The site operates on a stable 2-2-3 schedule that provides predictable time off, and night shifts include a premium to recognize the added commitment.

You will work with advanced equipment and automation, gain exposure to cutting-edge production technology, and collaborate with a close-knit group of technicians under new leadership focused on building a strong, high-performing…
