Industrial Electro-Mechanical Reliability Technician

About the Role

Picture your day starting on the plant floor, where production never truly sleeps. You review the overnight logs, then move quickly from a PLC panel to a hydraulic manifold, isolating a fault before it slows a line. A misaligned conveyor? Realigned. A motor running hot? Diagnosed and corrected. You decide when to fabricate a new bracket, when to weld a repair, and when to machine a replacement part so equipment is back online with minimal downtime.

As our Industrial Electro-Mechanical Reliability Technician, you will be the go-to expert who keeps complex machinery running, performs preventive and predictive maintenance, and executes root-cause analysis to improve reliability across the plant.

What You’ll Tackle

• Diagnose, service, and sustain industrial electrical and mechanical assets to maximize uptime.
• Use schematics, meters, and diagnostic tools to trace, test, and correct electrical control issues.
• Identify and repair faults in motors, electrical components, pneumatic, hydraulic, and mechanical systems.
• Fabricate, weld, modify, and install machine parts and assemblies as needed.
• Operate machine shop equipment and precision hand tools to build or adapt replacement components.
• Interpret electrical schematics, blueprints, mechanical drawings, and OEM manuals with accuracy.
• Execute preventive and predictive maintenance tasks to prevent unplanned failures.
• Perform root-cause troubleshooting and implement corrective actions to reduce repeat issues.
• Install, align, relocate, and upgrade production machinery and auxiliary systems.
• Respond to and support emergency repairs during live production.

Minimum Qualifications

• High school diploma or GED.
• 3+ years in industrial maintenance, industrial electrical work, or related manufacturing maintenance.
• Proven troubleshooting and diagnostic ability in an industrial setting.
• Hands-on experience with electrical, mechanical, hydraulic, and pneumatic systems.
• Demonstrated ability to independently identify failures and determine effective repairs.
• Practical experience with industrial machinery, motors, controls, and production equipment.

Technical Toolkit

• Fluency in reading equipment manuals, electrical schematics, blueprints, and mechanical drawings.
• Knowledge of compressed air, vacuum, hydraulics, and electronic control systems.
