• Department: Production / Equipment Maintenance
• Reports To: Director of Operations / Production Manager
• Location: Brooklyn, NY

Job Summary

The Wide Format Equipment Maintenance Technician is responsible for the preventive maintenance, diagnosis, and repair of Duggal’s

digital printing and CNC finishing equipment — Durst and Agfa UV flatbed and hybrid presses, HP Latex roll-to-roll printers, and Zünd and

Kongsberg CNC cutting tables. This is a dedicated maintenance position focused on equipment uptime, print quality stability, and cut

accuracy across all production shifts. The technician owns the preventive maintenance program, manages equipment performance

against OEE and related KPIs across the asset lifecycle, coordinates outside service and warranty work, trains operators and maintenance

personnel, and adheres to all appropriate operating and safety standards and procedures.

Essential Duties and Responsibilities

• Build and execute preventive maintenance schedules for all printing, cutting, and finishing equipment based on OEM intervals, run hours, and failure history; perform scheduled lubrication, filter changes, belt and bearing inspection, alignment and calibration checks, and optical, encoder, and vacuum system servicing.
• Diagnose faults to root cause rather than replacing components by trial; document findings and corrective action before a repair is closed.
• Respond to production down calls, triage by criticality, communicate realistic restoration times to production management, and drive measurable improvement in mean time to repair (MTTR) and mean time between failures (MTBF).

• Service printhead assemblies: replacement, alignment, voltage and temperature settings, nozzle recovery, purging, capping and wiping stations, and waste ink systems.
• Maintain ink delivery systems — pumps, dampers, filters, degassers, lines, and fittings — and correct leaks, air ingestion, and pressure faults.
• Service UV curing (lamp and LED), latex curing and drying modules, chiller and cooling circuits, exhaust and extraction, and the compressed air and vacuum systems serving the press fleet.
• Maintain media handling — vacuum tables and zones, belt transport, unwind and take-up, tension control, and media sensors — and perform machine calibration, head alignment, feed calibration, and density and linearization checks with color management and RIP operators, distinguishing hardware faults from file, RIP, or color profile issues.

• Service beam and carriage drive systems: drive belts and tension, rails, bearings, and servo drives; correct squareness, backlash, and axis calibration.
• Maintain and rebuild tool modules — universal cutting, electric oscillating and driven tools, kiss-cutting, creasing wheels, drive and wheel modules, and router and milling spindles — including blades, bits, collets, spindle bearings, runout checks, and dust extraction.
• Maintain vacuum hold-down systems (blowers, filters, zone valves, plenum sealing, underlay replacement), conveyor belt tracking and tension, and table surface flatness.
• Maintain camera and optical registration systems for cut-to-print accuracy, and coordinate controller software and firmware updates with the OEM (Zünd Cut Center, Kongsberg i-cut Production Console).

• Develop and implement comprehensive equipment management strategies to optimize the lifecycle of all equipment, ensuring maximum efficiency and productivity.
• Analyze equipment performance data and KPIs — OEE and…
