Maintain and Repair Equipment

• Develop a preventive maintenance (PM) system to ensure continuous operation of equipment.
• Troubleshoot, diagnose, repair, and verify the operation of production machinery and plant equipment.
• Perform preventive maintenance according to established schedules, equipment manuals, and maintenance procedures.
• Repair and replace mechanical components such as bearings, belts, chains, sprockets, gearboxes, motors, pumps, cylinders, and valves.
• Troubleshoot basic electrical issues involving motors, switches, relays, contactors, sensors, wiring, and three-phase equipment within your training and authorization.
• Troubleshoot and repair pneumatic and hydraulic systems, including leaks, hoses, fittings, regulators, valves, and cylinders.
• Read and interpret mechanical drawings, electrical schematics, pneumatic and hydraulic diagrams, equipment manuals, and technical instructions.
• Build, assemble, install, and modify equipment, guarding, fixtures, workstations, and supporting structures as directed.
• Operate welding, fabrication, machine-shop, and material-handling equipment as trained and authorized.
• Perform general facility maintenance, including basic plumbing, lighting, doors, docks, pumps, and building-system repairs.

Improve Reliability

• Respond promptly to equipment breakdowns and communicate repair status, production impact, and follow-up needs to the appropriate leaders.
• Identify recurring failures and participate in practical root-cause problem solving and corrective-action activities.
• Complete maintenance work orders accurately, including work performed, parts used, failure conditions, downtime, and recommended follow-up actions.
• Communicate spare-parts needs and support accurate inventory of commonly used and critical maintenance items.
• Support equipment installations, moves, startups, shutdowns, and improvement projects as assigned.

Support a Safe Workplace

• Follow all safety procedures, including Lockout/Tagout, machine guarding, electrical safe-work practices, confined space, hot work, line breaking, lift-truck requirements, and location-specific PPE rules.
• Assess hazards before beginning work and stop work when equipment or conditions cannot be made safe.
• Ensure equipment is properly assembled, guarded, tested, and returned to service after maintenance or repair.
• Complete repairs in accordance with applicable codes, company procedures, and quality requirements.
• Maintain tools, shop areas, replacement parts, and supplies in a clean, organized condition using 5S principles.
• Participate in required training and immediately report unsafe conditions, equipment damage, and potential quality concerns.

Work as a Team

• Work collaboratively with production operators, supervisors, vendors, contractors, and other maintenance personnel.
• Cross-train and learn unfamiliar equipment to support other maintenance areas as needed.
• Be available for repairs outside of scheduled work hours when needed to meet plant needs.

You Might Be a Great Fit If You:

• Have strong mechanical aptitude and enjoy hands-on problem solving.
• Take pride in safe, reliable workmanship.
• Pay close attention to details.
• Work well independently, manage multiple priorities, and respond to production needs with a sense of urgency.
• Communicate clearly and work well as part of a team.

Qualifications

• Two or more years of industrial maintenance, maintenance mechanic, millwright, or similar hands-on equipment-repair experience in a manufacturing environment; completion of a relevant trade-school program may supplement experience.
• Working knowledge of motors, power transmission, bearings, pneumatics, hydraulics, pumps, and basic industrial electrical systems.
• Ability to safely use hand tools, power tools, meters, welding equipment, and other maintenance equipment appropriate to assigned work.
• Ability to read and interpret safety rules, work instructions, preventive-maintenance procedures, equipment manuals, and technical drawings.
• Demonstrated problem-solving ability, attention to detail, effective time management, and clear verbal communication.
• Ability and willingness to learn unfamiliar equipment and cross-train across maintenance responsibilities.

Preferred Qualifications

• Technical diploma, apprenticeship, trade certification, or coursework in industrial maintenance, mechanical technology, electrical technology, welding, or a related field.
• Experience with roll-forming, fabrication, automated material handling, or window and door manufacturing equipment.
