Industrial Maintenance Mechanic — Utilities & Automation; Food Manufacturing

Imagine this The line pauses, a photo eye isn’t reading, and steam demand spikes. You step in—lockout/tagout, quick diagnostics, a parts check against OEM specs, clear communication on downtime to Production and Maintenance Leadership—and we’re moving again. This is the rhythm of keeping a modern food plant running: prevent, respond, and verify.

• Maintain, troubleshoot, and repair production, facility, and utility systems to ensure safe, efficient operations.
• Respond to production line calls; identify root causes and update stakeholders on repair progress and expected downtime.
• Perform scheduled preventive maintenance, lubrication, and inspections to drive reliability.
• Diagnose and correct mechanical, electrical, pneumatic, and basic control system faults.
• Safely tear down, repair, adjust, and reassemble machinery and equipment.
• Inspect and validate replacement parts against OEM specifications and manufacturer tolerances.
• Support plant utilities and infrastructure: HVAC, boilers, steam lines, plumbing, electrical systems, and building assets.
• Coordinate repair, maintenance, and installation work to reduce production impact.
• Adhere to safety, quality, GMP, and regulatory standards; maintain orderly tools, equipment, and work areas.
• Confirm lines are free of tools and materials before any startup or restart.
• Document work thoroughly—work orders, logs, and records—within the EFCO work order ticketing system.
• Track materials/parts usage and communicate resupply needs to Maintenance Leadership.
• Engage in training; assist Maintenance and Production teams to meet changing business needs.

• Experience with preventive maintenance programs and lubrication practices.
• Basic understanding of HVAC, boiler operations, steam distribution, and other plant utilities.
• Skilled in safe disassembly, inspection, adjustment, and reassembly of machinery.
• Fundamental welding, fabrication, and hand-tool abilities.
• Comfort reading work orders, SOPs, and safety instructions and following them precisely.
• Strong communication with Maintenance and Production partners.
• Independent work style with adherence to escalation protocols.
• Safe operation of tools, test instruments, diagnostic equipment, and forklifts when trained/certified.

• Prolonged standing/walking; ability to work in cold and freezer areas.
• Frequent bending, crouching, kneeling, reaching, and stooping; regularly lift up to 50 lbs.
• Strength, stamina, and dexterity to perform essential duties safely.
