Maintenance Technician

Maintenance Technician II

The Maintenance Technician II plays a key role in maintaining, troubleshooting, repairing, and improving manufacturing equipment and facility systems in a highly regulated medical manufacturing environment. This experienced technical professional works independently to minimize equipment downtime, perform preventive and corrective maintenance, and ensure safe, reliable, and efficient operation of injection molding and associated manufacturing equipment. The role requires strong mechanical, electrical, hydraulic, pneumatic, and troubleshooting skills, as well as close collaboration with Operations, Engineering, Quality, and other technical teams to support equipment reliability and production continuity.

Responsibilities include:

• Troubleshoot, diagnose, and repair complex mechanical, electrical, hydraulic, and pneumatic equipment issues.
• Perform preventive and corrective maintenance on injection molding machines, auxiliary equipment, automation and assembly equipment, and facility systems.
• Support the operation and maintenance of injection molding machines and associated manufacturing equipment.
• Troubleshoot electrical systems including motors, sensors, heaters, thermocouples, relays, contractors, and other machine controls.
• Troubleshoot hydraulic and pneumatic systems including pumps, valves, cylinders, regulators, fittings, and related components.
• Respond quickly and safely to production equipment breakdowns and restore equipment to operation with a strong sense of urgency.
• Perform root cause troubleshooting on recurring equipment failures and recommend corrective actions to improve equipment reliability.
• Complete scheduled preventive maintenance activities accurately and on time.
• Support equipment installations, modifications, upgrades, and continuous improvement projects.
• Assist with troubleshooting and maintenance of robotic and automated manufacturing systems.
• Partner with Process Engineering, Automation Engineering, Tooling, and Operations to resolve equipment-related production issues.
• Identify opportunities to reduce equipment downtime, improve preventive maintenance effectiveness, and increase equipment reliability.
• Maintain accurate maintenance records, work orders, repairs, and parts usage within the site's maintenance system or CMMS.
• Follow all applicable safety requirements, including Lockout/Tagout (LOTO), Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP), and site procedures.
• Perform work in accordance with requirements associated with an FDA-registered and ISO-based medical manufacturing environment.
• Provide technical guidance and hands-on support to less-experienced maintenance technicians as needed.
• Assist with spare-parts identification and recommendations for critical manufacturing equipment.
• Support continuous improvement initiatives focused on safety, quality, equipment uptime, and overall operational performance.
• Maintain a clean, organized, and safe work area.
• Perform additional maintenance and facility-related duties as assigned.
• Stand and walk for extended periods while working on and around manufacturing equipment.
• Bend, kneel, climb, reach, and work in and around equipment in a production setting.
• Lift and move up to 20 pounds with or without reasonable accommodation.
• Safely use hand tools, power tools, meters, and other maintenance equipment in daily tasks.
• Work around operating manufacturing equipment and within controlled manufacturing environments.
• Provide support outside normal working hours when required by equipment issues, production needs, or business requirements.

Essential skills include:

• Minimum 10 years of hands-on industrial maintenance experience in a manufacturing environment.
• Strong experience troubleshooting and repairing mechanical, electrical, hydraulic, and pneumatic systems.
• Demonstrated ability to independently diagnose complex equipment failures and determine appropriate corrective actions.
• Experience performing preventive and corrective maintenance on production equipment.
• Ability to read and interpret electrical schematics, mechanical drawings, hydraulic diagrams, and pneumatic diagrams.
• Strong understanding of industrial electrical systems and machine controls.
• Working knowledge of Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) and industrial safety practices.
• Ability to work independently with minimal supervision and effectively prioritize multiple equipment issues.
• Strong communication and problem-solving skills.
• Ability to work effectively with Operations, Engineering, Quality, and other technical functions.
• Advanced troubleshooting capability in a fast-paced manufacturing environment where equipment uptime is critical.
• Ability to identify root causes of equipment issues rather than relying solely on component replacement.
• Sound judgment in determining when equipment can safely return to production.
• Strong sense of ownership, urgency, and accountability for equipment performance and reliability.
• Ability to mentor and support less-experienced maintenance technicians through hands-on troubleshooting and…
