What your day looks like
You start your shift walking the floor, eyes on the health of our machines and the facility that houses them. From the production lines to the building and grounds, you’re the go-to expert for keeping everything running. When a line stops, you dive into the PLC logic, trace signals, and restore flow. In between, you’ll service HVAC and electrical systems, fix a leaky pipe, and tune a hydraulic circuit so a piece of equipment performs like new.
How you’ll make an impact
- Diagnose and repair equipment leveraging programmable logic controllers (PLCs) and related automation controls.
- Support robotics and automated systems; fabricate parts in the machine shop; perform preventive maintenance using specialized tools.
- Modify or repair tools, fixtures, gauges, and guarding through machining and bench work.
- Partner with engineers and outside vendors to solve complex process and equipment problems quickly and cost-effectively.
- Coach and train teammates; assign and direct work; provide performance feedback to the supervisor; address concerns and help resolve issues.
- Contribute wherever needed—other duties as assigned.
What you bring
- Expert troubleshooting across mechanical, electrical, and hydraulic systems.
- Demonstrated leadership with strong teamwork, interpersonal, and communication abilities.

- Fluency in English and the primary language of the location/area.
Qualifications
- High school diploma or GED.
- 3+ years of technical experience working with mechanical, electrical, and hydraulic systems.
Physical and environmental realities
- Lift and carry engines, parts, and materials of varied sizes and weights; your supervisor will provide the essential physical requirements of each specific job.
- Occasional to frequent pushing, pulling, bending, kneeling, twisting, crawling, and reaching throughout 8–12 hour shifts.
- Constant standing and/or walking across full 8–12 hour shifts.
- Regular use of power and vibrating tools for extended periods.
