Maintenance Technician

Maintenance Technician

This role focuses on maintaining and repairing industrial machinery and forklifts with a strong emphasis on electrical, mechanical, and welding work. You will perform preventive maintenance, troubleshoot complex issues, and support production by keeping equipment safe, reliable, and operating at peak efficiency. The position may be structured as either direct placement or contract-to-hire, depending on mutual fit and business needs.

• Perform preventive maintenance (PMs) on forklifts and production equipment to minimize downtime and extend equipment life.
• Diagnose and repair mechanical, electrical, and electromechanical issues on machinery and support systems.
• Use MIG and TIG welding to repair and fabricate components, including work on metal, copper, and aluminum.
• Work safely with 480V electrical systems and high voltage equipment while following established safety procedures.
• Troubleshoot electrical problems using appropriate tools and methods, including reading schematics and using test equipment.
• Support building-related maintenance needs when required, such as when team members are absent or in special circumstances, while primarily focusing on machinery.
• Collaborate with a separate building maintenance team to coordinate tasks and ensure equipment and facility readiness.
• Perform maintenance and repairs on forklifts and related material-handling equipment as needed.
• Assist with the installation, adjustment, and commissioning of new equipment brought into the facility.
• Support robotics-related maintenance and troubleshooting on applicable lines, particularly in higher-level maintenance mechanic roles.
• Maintain accurate records of maintenance activities, repairs, and parts usage.
• Follow all safety, quality, and operational procedures while working independently and as part of a maintenance team.

• Minimum 3+ years of experience as a maintenance technician in an industrial or manufacturing environment.
• Demonstrated mechanical aptitude with solid electrical troubleshooting skills.
• Proficiency with MIG and TIG welding, including welding on metal, copper, and aluminum components.
• Experience performing preventive maintenance on forklifts and industrial machinery.
• Hands-on experience with 480V electrical systems and high voltage work.
• Ability to diagnose and repair mechanical, electrical, and electromechanical issues.
• Experience with pneumatics and related systems.
• Forklift maintenance experience.
• Robotics experience, particularly for maintenance mechanic and higher-level roles.
• Strong troubleshooting skills with the ability to work safely and efficiently under minimal supervision.

• Electromechanical degree or equivalent technical education, especially for third-shift maintenance mechanic roles.
• High voltage electrical experience in a production or industrial setting.
• Experience working with relatively new, automated, or robotics-integrated equipment.
• Interest in hands-on hobbies or projects that relate to maintenance, repair, fabrication, or mechanical/electrical work.
• Comfort working on both mechanical and electrical aspects of equipment, including welding and fabrication.
• Flexibility to work different shifts, including third shift, where applicable.

You will join a modern, well-equipped facility that invests in its people and tools, offering weekly pay and practical support such as reimbursement for glasses, tools, and safety boots. The maintenance structure is designed to let you focus primarily on machinery rather than routine building tasks, providing a more engaging and technically challenging workload. The organization values technicians coming from demanding environments and offers a cleaner, more…
