Maintenance Technician

Mission Linen Supply is currently looking for an experienced Maintenance Technician. Responsibilities include repairing, maintaining, installing, and troubleshooting industrial equipment such as washers, dryers, steam tunnels, conveyor systems, and boilers.

This position performs preventive maintenance that includes welding, boiler chemical testing and chemistry adjustments, resolving safety concerns, and preparing maintenance records. This in-plant role requires strong technical knowledge of industrial equipment and the ability to work with varied mechanical/electrical systems. We're looking for knowledge of, or a willingness to learn, steam boiler, electrical, pneumatic, schematics, welding, and plumbing work.

If you're looking for a stable industry where your technical skills keep essential operations running, this role is built for that.

Founded in 1930 and headquartered in Santa Barbara, CA, Mission has grown from a one-man operation into an industry leader, while remaining stable, essential, and steadily growing.

Industrial laundry and linen services are a recession-resistant, essential industry. Hospitals, hotels, and restaurants need clean linens and uniforms regardless of the economy. That means real, ongoing opportunities for career advancement, not a static org chart.
