Maintenance Tech

This role focuses on maintaining and improving automated tube forming lines, presses, and related production equipment in a high-volume metal exhaust system manufacturing facility. You will own a designated section of the plant alongside an engineer, taking responsibility for preventive and corrective maintenance, major rebuilds, process improvements, and technical training. The position combines hands-on mechanical, electrical, hydraulic, and pneumatic work with troubleshooting, documentation, and collaboration across departments.

• Take ownership of an assigned plant section in partnership with an engineer, ensuring equipment reliability, performance, and safety.
• Perform maintenance on tube forming lines, presses, automated tube benders, welding machines, material handling robots, conveyors, and related production equipment.
• Troubleshoot programming, fixtures, and production-related issues by operating and observing equipment, identifying malfunctions or non-conforming conditions, and adjusting machine controls as required.
• Support the development of machine specifications for new equipment, machines, and tooling to meet production and quality requirements.
• Investigate root causes of quality failures in forming, trimming, and sizing operations for bellows forming, and implement permanent corrective actions.
• Assist in training team leaders, maintenance personnel, and tooling staff on equipment operation, maintenance procedures, and process improvements.
• Monitor equipment cumulative cycles to plan and schedule predictive machine rebuild activities.
• Lead and conduct major equipment rebuilds, including disassembly, inspection, repair, replacement of components, and reassembly.
• Execute preventive maintenance activities and verify that work meets quality and reliability standards.
• Assist in developing techniques and best practices for specified production processes such as tube welding, hydro-forming, assembly, and liner manufacturing.
• Clean, inspect, and rebuild tooling, ensuring it is ready for production and meets specification requirements.
• Perform preventive maintenance tasks on mechanical, electrical, hydraulic, and pneumatic systems to minimize downtime.
• Assist in troubleshooting equipment issues, including electrical and mechanical faults, and restore equipment to safe and efficient operation.
• Complete required paperwork and documentation, including maintenance records, work orders, and updates to work instructions.
• Support other departments with projects, upgrades, and specialized maintenance tasks as needed.
• Apply Lock Out / Tag Out procedures independently to ensure safe maintenance and repair activities.
• Rebuild pumps and motors using blueprints and schematics, verifying proper operation after repair.
• Read and interpret electrical prints, blueprints, and schematics to diagnose issues and determine why equipment has failed or shut down.

• At least 5 years of experience as a maintenance technician repairing industrial equipment in a manufacturing environment.
• At least 5 years of electrical, hydraulic, and pneumatic experience, including working with sensors, basic PLCs, electrical circuits, and performing volt meter readings.
• Strong ability to read and interpret electrical prints, blueprints, and schematics to diagnose equipment failures.
• Proficiency in Lock Out / Tag Out procedures and the ability to perform them independently.
• Hands-on experience rebuilding pumps and motors using blueprints and schematic diagrams.
• Practical knowledge of pneumatics and hydraulics, including troubleshooting and repair.
• Mechanical and electrical troubleshooting skills for complex automated production equipment.
• Experience with maintenance and repair of industrial machinery such as presses, tube forming lines, and automated systems.
• Capability to perform preventive maintenance and major rebuilds on production equipment.
• Ability to conduct and document maintenance tasks clearly and accurately.
• Comfort working in a fast-paced manufacturing environment with multiple priorities.

• Welding experience.
• Automotive industry experience.
• Strong PLC beyond basic troubleshooting.
• Fabrication skills for repair and modification of components or fixtures.
• Experience with robotics, including material handling robots.
• CNC equipment experience.
• Exposure to roll forming, stamping presses, and robotic weld operations.
• Familiarity with Allen Bradley, Siemens, and…
