Mechanical Maintenance Technician — Steel Mill Operations

On any given shift, you’ll keep one of the world’s largest steel producers running. You’ll move between production bays, sometimes at height or in confined spaces, diagnosing issues across hydraulic, pneumatic, lubrication, and power transmission systems. You’ll use standard and specialized tools, and operate mobile equipment like pendant/overhead cranes and forklifts to install, maintain, repair, and return equipment to service so operations never miss a beat.

• Work solo with minimal supervision or alongside other maintenance technicians, depending on the task.
• Adapt to changing plant environments—hot, cold, wet, greasy, dirty, and noisy—across different areas of the facility.
