Maintenance Technician

Maintenance Technician

The Maintenance Technician maintains, troubleshoots, and repairs a wide range of electrical, mechanical, hydraulic, and pneumatic production equipment in a highly automated automotive manufacturing environment. This role focuses on keeping 3-phase motors, conveyors, presses, robots, and related systems operating safely and efficiently, performing both reactive repairs and scheduled preventive maintenance on night shift.

• Maintain, troubleshoot, and repair electrical, mechanical, hydraulic, and pneumatic production equipment, including 3-phase motors, conveyors, presses, pumps, and ovens.
• Perform electrical troubleshooting on 480V, 277V, 120V AC and 12V/24V DC control systems to quickly identify and resolve issues.
• Diagnose and repair PLC-controlled systems and robotics, including Fanuc and ABB robots, using ladder logic and control schematics where applicable.
• Complete daily preventive maintenance (PM) tasks when not responding to equipment breakdowns, ensuring equipment reliability and uptime.
• Test and verify proper operation of 12V and 24V DC controls and 480V AC systems using appropriate electrical test equipment.
• Read, interpret, and apply electrical, mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic schematics and blueprints to guide troubleshooting and repairs.
• Perform general mechanical repairs, including work on hydraulic and pneumatic systems such as cylinders, valves, and actuators.
• Support production by responding promptly to equipment failures and working efficiently to minimize downtime in a fast-paced environment.
• Assist with project work, including installation, modification, and improvement of equipment and production lines, as needed.
• Utilize welding (mig) skills and conduit bending capabilities on project and repair work when required.
• Document maintenance activities, repairs, and PMs accurately to support reliability and continuous improvement efforts.
• Collaborate with production and engineering teams to identify recurring issues and recommend corrective actions or improvements.

• Prefer 35 years of industrial maintenance experience, ideally supported by an associates degree in a related field.
• Will consider entry-level candidates with a relevant degree; candidates without a degree must have approximately 10 years of industrial maintenance experience.
• Strong multi-skilled background with experience in electrical systems (including 480V), mechanical systems, hydraulics, and pneumatics.
• Ability to perform electrical troubleshooting on 480V, 277V, 120V AC and 12V/24V DC control systems.
• Ability to test and diagnose 12V and 24V DC controls and 480V AC systems using appropriate tools and methods.
• Proficiency in reading and interpreting electrical and mechanical schematics, blueprints, and ladder logic diagrams.
• Hands-on experience troubleshooting PLC-based systems and controls; ladder logic knowledge is preferred.
• Demonstrated skill in using electrical, mechanical, hydraulic, and pneumatic schematics during troubleshooting.
• Capability to work effectively in a highly automated, automotive manufacturing environment under time-sensitive conditions.

• Associates degree in industrial maintenance, electrical technology, mechatronics, or a related technical discipline is preferred.
• PLC troubleshooting and ladder logic knowledge are considered a strong plus, even if not strictly required.
• Experience with robotics troubleshooting, particularly Fanuc and ABB robots, is highly desirable.
• Mig welding skills are a plus for maintenance and project work.
• Conduit bending experience is a plus for electrical installations and modifications.
• Comfort working with 3-phase motors, conveyors, presses, pumps, and ovens in an automated production environment.
• Ability to work night shift (2nd shift, 6 PM6 AM) on a 2-2-3 schedule, including every other weekend.
• Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to work independently while prioritizing tasks in a high-pressure setting.
• Effective communication skills to coordinate with production, engineering, and other maintenance team members.
