Maintenance Technician

Machine Shop Maintenance Technician

Precision Manufacturing

This is a dedicated machine shop maintenance role — focused entirely on keeping CNC equipment (Haas, Mazak, and more) running at peak performance. You won't be pulling fire alarms or doing building HVAC work. You're here for the machines.

• Get to know every one of 24 CNC machines — their history, their quirks, their needs
• Reach out directly to Haas, Mazak, and other OEMs to pull their recommended maintenance schedules
• Build a preventive maintenance plan from scratch and put it into action
• Set up a maintenance tracking system (CMMS or well-structured Excel — your call to start) so nothing slips through the cracks
• Learn from a veteran in-house maintenance lead with decades of institutional knowledge — be a sponge

• Execute a rolling PM schedule — 2 machines per month taken offline for full inspection, cleaning, lubrication, and servicing
• Perform mechanical maintenance on CNC mills, lathes, grinders, and related equipment
• Troubleshoot and repair mechanical, pneumatic, hydraulic, and basic electrical systems
• Coordinate with OEM technicians (Haas, Mazak) when heavy technical support is needed — you don't have to be the wizard, but you need to know when to call one
• Communicate proactively with the production planning team so maintenance windows are scheduled around production commitments — not against them
• Maintain accurate maintenance logs and uptime records
• Manage spare parts inventory and reordering
• Assist with equipment installation, relocation, and setup as needed
• Follow all LOTO, OSHA, and safety protocols without exception

You're the right person if you:

• Have hands‑on experience with CNC equipment — any brand, any level — and genuinely enjoy being around machines
• Are a self‑starter who doesn't wait to be told what needs to be done
• Can read technical manuals, OEM documentation, and schematics and turn that information into a workable plan
• Are mechanically strong and not intimidated by electrical systems (you don't need to be an electrician — but you can't be afraid of a control panel)
• Take pride in keeping good records and running a tight, organized operation
• Communicate clearly with production and operations teams
• Are comfortable with a little flexibility in schedule when a machine goes down on second shift

• 3–5 years of mechanical maintenance experience in a manufacturing environment
• CNC machine experience (operation, maintenance, or both)
• Familiarity with CMMS platforms or strong organizational systems
• Knowledge of precision measuring instruments (calipers, micrometers, etc.)
• LOTO certified or willing to obtain

Education:

High school diploma or equivalent required; technical/vocational training a plus

• Schedule:
  
  Monday–Friday, 7 AM–4 PM (some second shift flexibility appreciated)
• Employment type:
  
  Full-time, direct hire, non‑union
• Tools:
  Bring your own if you have them; the company will make sure you have what you need either way

This company has a defined machinist progression and is building out a parallel career track on the maintenance side. If you want to grow into a higher‑level maintenance role, pursue a machinist apprenticeship, or move into another area of the operation over time, this is a place where that path exists.

When the machines aren't running, parts aren't being made — and customers feel it. The person in this role has a direct line to operational efficiency and on‑time delivery. Leadership is ready to compensate accordingly for someone who truly owns it.
