Your Day, Engineered for Impact
At 6:00 a.m., you’re on the floor reviewing the CMMS for planned work and overnight alerts. You lock out a Mazak machining center, change out a worn spindle bearing, and verify alignment to restore accuracy. A conveyor stalls—your root-cause instincts kick in, tracing the fault from a sensor to a failed drive. By mid-morning, you’re calibrating an Okuma axis, checking ball screws and linear guides, then collaborating with a Controls Technician on a PLC input anomaly. After lunch, you fine-tune a hydraulic circuit, replace a pneumatic valve on an automated cell, and bring a robot-peripheral back online. You wrap up by documenting everything and prepping parts inventory for the next preventive cycle. That’s a typical day safeguarding uptime in our fast-paced automotive manufacturing environment.
Schedule
Day shift, Monday–Friday, 6:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. (50-hour workweeks).
What You’ll Tackle
- Preventive, predictive, and corrective maintenance on CNC machining centers and supporting manufacturing systems.
- Troubleshoot and repair mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic, and electrical issues to minimize downtime.
- Diagnose failures, identify root causes, and implement lasting fixes.
- Rebuild/replace components: spindles, ball screws, linear guides, bearings, pumps, motors, valves, sensors, and tooling systems.
- Align, calibrate, and verify machine accuracy for repeatable precision.
- Interpret electrical schematics, mechanical drawings, hydraulic diagrams, and OEM manuals.
- Maintain and troubleshoot automation, conveyors, robotics, and machine peripherals.
- Install, modify, and improve equipment to boost reliability and throughput.
- Support PLC troubleshooting (work alongside Controls Technicians for advanced programming changes).
- Apply lockout/tagout and uphold all safety regulations.
- Record work and equipment history in the CMMS; contribute to TPM and continuous improvement.
- Assist with equipment startups/shutdowns and production support.
- Manage spare parts and flag critical components.
- Respond to breakdowns and urgent repairs as needed.
What You Bring
- High school diploma or GED.
- At least 3 years of industrial maintenance experience, ideally in automotive manufacturing.
- Hands-on experience with CNC centers such as Mazak, Okuma, Haas, Makino, Fanuc, or Mori Seiki.
- Deep understanding of mechanical systems, hydraulics, pneumatics, bearings/power transmission, electrical controls, and motors/drives.
- Skill reading technical drawings, blueprints, and schematics.
- Basic PLC troubleshooting (Allen-Bradley, Siemens, Fanuc, or similar).
- Proficiency with precision measuring instruments and diagnostic tools.
- Familiarity with CMMS platforms and structured preventive maintenance programs.
