Is this you?

• Do you spot a misaligned shaft or a worn seal before it becomes downtime?
• Can you read a schematic, pull the right parts from a BOM, and bring a machine back to OEM spec?
• Are you at home fabricating a quick fix—welding, on the lathe, or at a Bridgeport—when production needs it?

• Use precision measuring tools, hand tools, and test instruments to install and align equipment to OEM requirements.
• Interpret mechanical prints, BOM data, and technical diagrams to plan and perform work.
• Handle minor fabrication as needed—welding, operating a lathe and Bridgeport, and using powered saws.
• Complete manufacturer-recommended oil and lubrication cycles on schedule.
• Record all work in Maintenance Connection, including WR and PM documentation.
• Employ sonic leak detection to find and fix compressed air leaks on equipment and across the facility.
• Keep work areas clean and safe; follow good housekeeping practices.
• Pitch in on tooling, changeovers, and equipment startups to support production success.

What you bring

• High school diploma or equivalent.
• 3–5 years in an industrial maintenance setting.
• Strong mechanical aptitude and familiarity with mechanical devices and apparatus.
• Hands-on experience with pneumatic and hydraulic systems.
• Comfortable using hand and power tools for mechanical work.
• Ability to operate forklifts, scissor lifts, and boom lifts.
• Solid communication, sound decisions, and working math skills.
