Maintenance Technician

Work Arrangement:
On Site

• Lead by example on safety: apply OSHA Control of Hazardous Energy (LOTO) and electrical safe-work practices; support arc‑flash/arc‑shock risk controls under NFPA 70E (e.g., boundaries, PPE, job safety planning).
• Conduct and participate in pre‑job hazard analyses (PJHA), incident reviews, and safety audits; maintain an orderly, 5S-compliant work area.

• Execute advanced mechanical and electrical troubleshooting/repair on production and plant equipment (power transmission, pneumatics, hydraulics, welding/fabrication, and machine-shop work). Read/interpret electrical schematics, blueprints, and technical manuals.
• Diagnose and resolve PLC/controls issues (troubleshooting and minor program modifications in ladder logic as permitted by site policy).
• Use the CMMS (e.g., Mainsaver or equivalent) to document work, close work orders with accurate failure codes/cause/remedy and maintain asset histories; assign/execute PM tasks to schedule.
• Plan and stage work with Operations and Stores to reduce MTTR and avoid unplanned downtime; contribute to accurate spare-parts data (min/max levels, critical spares).

• Execute and improve PM and PdM programs (vibration, infrared thermography, ultrasound, oil analysis) to detect early failure conditions and extend asset life; capture and act on condition data.
• Apply Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) principles (5S foundation; autonomous/planned maintenance; focused improvement) with production to eliminate chronic losses and improve OEE.
• Lead/participate in Root Cause Analysis (RCA) for repeat failures using methods such as 5 Whys and fishbone; implement and verify corrective actions to prevent recurrence.
• Track and communicate reliability KPIs (e.g., PM compliance, MTBF/MTTR, work‑order closure quality) and contribute ideas for cost, quality, and uptime improvement.

• Maintain/author maintenance work instructions, PHJAs, and job plans
  ; ensure as‑built drawings/schematics are current in the CMMS/technical library.
• Support industrial control system (ICS/OT) cybersecurity hygiene in daily work (e.g., change control on PLC/HMI programs, secure USB/media, patch/firmware coordination with engineering and IT/OT) aligned to ISA/IEC
  62443 practices.
• Mentor and coach technicians and operators; share troubleshooting techniques and reliability mindset; support autonomous maintenance and cross‑training.
• Coordinate with Production, Engineering, EHS, and Quality to prioritize and execute maintenance with minimal impact to schedules; support planned outages and start‑up/commissioning as needed.
• Work ethic & availability : maintain professionalism and customer focus; work independently or within a team; support overtime, weekends, and holidays per production needs.

• High school diploma or GED required. Trade school degree preferred.

• 7–10+ years of progressively responsible industrial maintenance experience in a high‑volume manufacturing environment, with demonstrated expertise across mechanical, electrical, and controls disciplines.
• Proven proficiency with PLC troubleshooting (and minor modifications),
  electrical/electronic diagnostics (meters, scopes), mechanical systems (power transmission, pneumatics, hydraulics), and precision fabrication/welding .
• Strong CMMS competency (work management, PM optimization, parts usage, failure coding) and disciplined documentation habits.
