• Perform preventive maintenance on production equipment, including fluid changes, filter replacements, and basic mechanical adjustments.
• Lubricate machinery and components to ensure smooth operation and reduce wear.
• Carry out key cleaning tasks on machines to maintain optimal performance and reliability.
• Assist the maintenance team with simple repairs and basic troubleshooting activities.
• Use hand and power tools safely and effectively to complete assigned maintenance tasks.
• Support maintenance activities on equipment such as CNC machines, robotic welders, multi-axis robots, hydraulic and pneumatic systems, conveyors, and mechanical drive systems.
• Follow established preventive maintenance schedules and document all work performed accurately.
• Adhere to safety procedures and maintain a clean, organized work area.
• Collaborate with maintenance technicians and other team members to minimize equipment downtime and improve equipment reliability.
• Participate in training activities using dedicated training hubs and off-line equipment to build technical skills.

Essential Skills

• Basic mechanical aptitude, ideally gained through automotive repair, HVAC, mechanical assembly, or similar hands-on experience.
• Experience with preventive maintenance tasks such as lubrication, filter changes, and basic mechanical repairs.
• Proficiency using hand tools and power tools in a safe and controlled manner.
• Ability to work with and around mechanical systems, including hydraulics, pneumatics, and mechanical drive components.
• Familiarity with basic maintenance and machine repair practices.
• Capability to read and follow work instructions and maintenance procedures.
• Strong attention to detail and commitment to performing quality work.
• Reliability to work a weekend schedule from Friday to Monday, 6:00 AM to 4:30 PM.

Additional Skills & Qualifications

• Experience in automotive mechanics, basic construction, machine repair, or entry-level maintenance technician roles.
• Exposure to blueprint reading for mechanical or maintenance work.
• Experience working with CNC equipment, robotic welders, or robotic systems is a plus.
• Understanding of hydraulic and pneumatic systems used in industrial equipment.
• Willingness to learn and progress into a full maintenance department role over time.
• Strong teamwork and communication skills in a production or maintenance environment.
• Ability to adapt to a structured preventive maintenance program and manufacturing processes.

Why Work Here?

You will join a modern, team-based manufacturing environment that invests in training and skill development, including dedicated training hubs and hands-on learning with equipment off the production floor. The organization emphasizes safety, cleanliness, and reliability, offering a clear pathway for motivated individuals to grow from TPM support into the maintenance department. You will work with advanced technologies such as CNC machines, robotic welders, and multi-axis robots, gaining valuable experience that supports long-term career development in industrial maintenance.

Work Environment

The role is based in a clean, climate-controlled manufacturing facility designed to support safe and efficient work. You will work around CNC equipment, robotic welders, multi-axis robots, hydraulic and pneumatic systems, conveyors, and mechanical drive systems. The schedule follows a weekend shift from Friday to Monday, 6:00 AM to 4:30 PM. The facility includes dedicated training hubs where you can practice and develop skills on equipment that is not on the live manufacturing floor, allowing you to learn in a controlled, low-pressure setting.
