Category Maintenance

Ira Green is a manufacturer of military insignia and decorative metal goods. Our production floor runs a wide range of industrial equipment - stamping presses, hydraulic and progressive presses, an electroplating line, and finishing and packaging machinery. We are building a proactive maintenance function and are looking for an experienced Preventive Maintenance Technician to own equipment uptime across the plant.

This is not a reactive break‑fix role. The primary mission is to keep critical production equipment running through a disciplined preventive maintenance program, reducing unplanned downtime, extending equipment life, and protecting on‑time delivery. You will respond to equipment failures when they occur, but your core job is preventing them.

• Develop, execute, and continuously improve a preventive maintenance program across stamping, polishing, finishing, plating, and packaging equipment, including PM schedules, inspection routines, and standard work.
• Perform scheduled inspections, lubrication, adjustments, and component replacement on hydraulic presses, drop hammers, progressive presses, plating/polishing equipment, and packaging machinery.
• Diagnose and repair both mechanical and electrical faults—hydraulics, pneumatics, drives, motors, controls, and basic PLC/relay logic—to restore equipment to running condition with minimal disruption.
• Maintain accurate maintenance records: work performed, parts used, downtime causes, and recurring failure patterns, to drive root‑cause analysis and PM improvements.
• Identify chronic problem equipment and recommend repairs, rebuilds, or upgrades, partnering with management on larger interventions.
• Manage spare parts and critical‑component inventory for key machines so the right parts are on hand when needed.
• Follow and help expand plant safety procedures, including lockout/tagout (LOTO); become an authorized employee on assigned equipment.
• Verify that equipment operates in a safe, compliant condition—machine guarding properly mounted, emergency stops functional, and machines meeting applicable OSHA, CE, UL, and other regulatory standards—and correct or escalate deficiencies before equipment is returned to service.

• 3+ years of industrial/manufacturing maintenance experience (not facilities or property maintenance).
• Demonstrated ability across both mechanical and electrical systems—hydraulics, pneumatics, mechanical drive trains, motors, electrical troubleshooting, and basic controls/PLC familiarity.
• Experience with preventive and predictive maintenance practices; able to build and run a PM program, not just react to breakdowns.
• Strong diagnostic and troubleshooting skills with the judgment to find root cause, not just restore a machine.
• Comfort documenting work and using basic systems to track maintenance activity.
• Working knowledge of LOTO and industrial safety standards.
• Understanding machine guarding, emergency‑stop systems, and OSHA/regulatory compliance requirements for production equipment.
• Self‑directed and reliable—able to own equipment uptime with limited supervision.

• Experience with stamping presses, plating/electroplating lines, or metal‑finishing equipment.
• Welding, fabrication, or machining skills.
