Industrial Maintenance Mechanic, Plant Reliability

About the Role

Picture your day starting with a quick machine walk-through, checking last shift’s notes, and lining up your preventive maintenance plan. As an Industrial Maintenance Mechanic on our Maintenance & Reliability team, you’ll partner closely with a senior technician and the Maintenance Supervisor to keep facility systems and production equipment running safely and smoothly. You’ll jump between PMs, facility work orders, and hands-on repairs—tackling whichever ticket or project needs you most as volume changes.

Safety comes first. You’ll model BAC’s values—Earning Trust, Embracing Responsibility, Showing Courage, and Driving Innovation—and live our shared purpose: doing the right thing in the right way. Along the way, you’ll build technical mastery across mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic, and power transmission systems.
