We’re looking for a Maintenance Assistant to join our plant support team — with a heavy focus on preventative maintenance for CNC equipment
.

This is a hands‑on role where you’ll help keep our manufacturing operation running safely, reliably, and efficiently. Your goal?
Catch the little problems before they become big, expensive ones.

Perform routine preventative maintenance on CNC machines and manufacturing equipment
Change coolants, monitor oil levels, and perform other routine machine maintenance
Complete scheduled filter changes on equipment such as mist collectors and machine air filters
Monitor and repair leaks throughout our compressed-air system
Complete daily, weekly, annual, and as‑needed maintenance tasks
Work with production and management to identify and prioritize maintenance needs
Communicate maintenance schedules, delays, interruptions, and changes to manufacturing teams
Maintain maintenance inventory and communicate supply needs to Purchasing
Assist with facility maintenance, including filters, lighting, and general upkeep
Coordinate with the property manager when larger facility repairs are needed

3–5 years of facilities maintenance experience, or equivalent
Strong mechanical aptitude and a hands‑on approach to problem‑solving
Ability to work independently while communicating effectively with production and management
A commitment to doing things safely and correctly — not just quickly

What Makes This Role Different?

You won’t spend your day waiting for something to break.

Preventative maintenance is the name of the game. You’ll be inspecting, servicing, monitoring, troubleshooting, and keeping our CNC equipment and facility in good working order so production can keep moving.

If you know your way around manufacturing equipment, take pride in keeping things running, and would rather fix a problem today than explain why it became a bigger problem tomorrow,
we’d like to meet you.
