Keep Our Lines Moving
Join a fast-growing manufacturer where your mechanical and electrical know‑how keeps high‑speed beverage canning and powder lines running. If you love getting hands-on with complex equipment, solving problems on the fly, and seeing the immediate impact of your work, this role puts you at the center of production uptime.
Your contributions directly reduce downtime, boost reliability, and support operators in real time—especially on weekend 2nd and 3rd shifts when every minute counts.
A Day in the Role
You arrive, review open work orders, and walk the line. A filler trips a sensor—within minutes you isolate the fault, swap a component, and validate the fix. Between line calls, you execute a PM on a conveyor drive, document torque checks, and adjust guarding. A vendor calls about a replacement part you identified during root-cause analysis yesterday. Before shift end, you support a rapid changeover and complete a quick facility repair so production can start on time.
