Industrial Maintenance Mechanic - 1st Shift

INDUSTRIAL MAINTENANCE MECHANIC — 1ST SHIFT

The line runs because you make it run.

At The Fremont Company, we've been manufacturing food products that end up on tables across the country for over 121 years. Ketchup, sauerkraut, BBQ sauce — it all starts here, and it only gets out the door if the equipment is running the way it should. That's your job.

We're looking for an Industrial Maintenance Mechanic on 1st Shift at our Fremont facility. Whether you're early in your maintenance career or you've got years of industrial experience behind you, if you know how to diagnose a problem and fix it right, we want to talk.

Family-owned since 1905. Over 121 years of manufacturing products people actually recognize. We're headquartered in Fremont, Ohio and we believe the people keeping our equipment running are just as important as anyone on the floor. We invest in our team, we promote from within, and we take care of the people who take care of us.

• Troubleshoot and repair mechanical, electrical, and pneumatic failures on production equipment
• Perform preventive maintenance to minimize unplanned downtime
• Diagnose root causes — not just patch symptoms
• Maintain accurate work orders and maintenance records
• Identify recurring issues and help develop lasting fixes
• Support installation and commissioning of new or modified equipment
• Keep your workspace, tools, and parts areas organized and safe

We welcome candidates at all experience levels. What matters most is mechanical aptitude, a problem-solving mindset, and a commitment to doing the job right.

• Background in industrial or manufacturing maintenance preferred
• Ability to read mechanical drawings, schematics, and technical manuals a plus
• Comfortable with hand tools, power tools, and standard maintenance equipment
• Strong troubleshooting instincts — you think it through before you turn a wrench
• Dependable, self-directed, and able to prioritize on a busy production floor
• Experience in food manufacturing a bonus, not a requirement

• Competitive pay
• Full benefits package
• Hands‑on training and room to grow
• 1st Shift schedule
• A stable, family‑owned company with over a century of manufacturing behind it
