Industrial Maintenance Mechanic — PLC & Power Systems

Be the go-to problem solver when the plant is humming

Join a growing manufacturing operation in Hammond, Indiana, and own the health of our production assets overnight. As an Industrial Maintenance Mechanic, you’ll keep equipment reliable, production moving, and teammates safe on a third-shift schedule. Initial training occurs on first shift during onboarding, and you’ll have company-provided tools plus a stable environment with long-term growth opportunities.

A night in this role

You arrive, review the maintenance log, and prioritize calls. A conveyor is down—you isolate power, follow LOTO, and trace the fault to a failed contactor. Later, you swap a pump seal, interpret an Allen‑Bradley PLC alarm, and verify a VFD parameter change with your meter. Before the shift ends, you complete PMs, document work performed, and flag a gearbox vibration trend for predictive follow-up.

You leave the line running smoothly for the day crew.
