Equipment & Facilities Maintenance Technician

We’re looking for a motivated, hands‑on Equipment & Facilities Maintenance Technician to help keep our production equipment, utilities, and building running safely and reliably. This is a broad maintenance role in a small beverage‑manufacturing company: on any given day, you might troubleshoot a pump, complete preventive maintenance on a grinder, coordinate chiller service, repair a door, organize critical spare parts, or support an equipment installation.

We’re not looking for an entry‑level candidate, but we also don’t expect you to arrive as a senior industrial mechanic, engineer, or facilities manager. We’re looking for someone with several years of practical maintenance experience, sound judgment, dependable follow‑through, and the ability to know what can be handled in‑house and when a qualified outside specialist is needed.

If you’re mechanically inclined, dependable, organized, and interested in continuing to build your maintenance and manufacturing skills, we’d love to hear from you.

Maintenance Organization and Safety

• Maintain preventive‑maintenance schedules, work records, equipment histories, service documents, open‑work lists, and required SQF records.

• Follow lockout/tagout, electrical‑safety, food‑safety, quality, sanitation, and environmental requirements.
• Protect product‑contact areas during maintenance and return repaired equipment and affected work areas to a safe, sanitary condition before returning them to service.
