• Monitor and adhere to maintenance key performance indicators (KPIs) to support reliability and continuous improvement.
• Document all maintenance activities, parts and resources used, and apply appropriate closing codes in the maintenance system.
• Requisition required repair parts under the direction of the Maintenance Supervisor to ensure timely completion of work.
• Install new equipment and modify existing installations as needed, following electrical and mechanical standards and best practices.
• Interpret pneumatic system schematics and troubleshoot pneumatic systems, including valves and valve replacements, motors and drive systems, and related components.
• Interpret electrical and control circuitry schematics, including PLC schematics, to diagnose and resolve electrical issues.
• Apply knowledge of NEC and NFPA 70E standards and regulations when performing daily electrical tasks to maintain a safe work environment.
• Use electrical test equipment and tools safely and effectively while following established safety precautions.
• Utilize Statistical Process Control (SPC) tools, such as control charts and standard deviation, to analyze data and identify trends that support equipment reliability.
• Use computer-based systems, including CMMS or other maintenance documentation tools, to enter work orders, track maintenance history, and support reporting.
• Collaborate with production and maintenance team members to coordinate work, communicate equipment status, and support manufacturing operations.
• Lift and move equipment or parts up to 55 lbs independently and up to 100 lbs with assistance as part of routine maintenance tasks.
• Work assigned shifts, including evenings and nights, and be willing to get hands-on and work in a physically demanding industrial environment.

• Minimum of 1–2 years of maintenance manufacturing experience.
• High school diploma or GED equivalent.
• Hands-on experience with industrial maintenance, including mechanical troubleshooting and equipment repair.
• Ability to troubleshoot and repair mechanical equipment, production machinery, and process systems.
• Knowledge of electrical systems, including electrical power distribution, control systems, and instrumentation.
• Working knowledge of hydraulic and pneumatic systems, including troubleshooting and repair.
• Ability to interpret pneumatic system schematics and electrical and control circuitry schematics.
• Knowledge of NEC and NFPA 70E standards and regulations and ability to apply them in daily electrical tasks.
• Experience with preventive maintenance (PM) practices and procedures in a manufacturing environment.
• Familiarity with industrial maintenance practices, including use of tools, test equipment, and safety procedures.
• Working knowledge of PLC hardware and basic understanding of Ladder Logic programming for troubleshooting purposes.
• Proficiency and comfort using computers for maintenance documentation, communication, and basic analysis.
• Proficient oral and written communication skills to document work and collaborate with team members.
• Ability to lift up to 55 lbs independently and up to 100 lbs with assistance.
• Ability and willingness to work non-climate-controlled manufacturing conditions and perform hands-on tasks.

• Experience supporting manufacturing operations through equipment maintenance and reliability improvements.
• Familiarity with Statistical Process Control (SPC) tools, such as control charts and standard deviation, and ability to use them for analysis and trend identification.
• Experience using a Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS) or similar maintenance documentation tools.
• Exposure to PLC troubleshooting and basic understanding of Ladder Logic programming (preferred).
• Experience with welding and fabrication in an industrial setting (preferred).
• Strong safety awareness and…
