    Description

    Senior Industrial Maintenance Technician

    Schedule: Monday–Thursday, 4:00 PM–2:30 AM, with occasional Friday overtime

    A day in this role

    You arrive just before 4:00 PM, check the CMMS for open work orders, and scan the production schedule to prioritize. A conveyor drive is showing intermittent faults—you verify the VFD parameters, trace the electrical circuit against the schematic, and validate sensor inputs to the PLC. After restoring flow, you pivot to a planned PM: inspect bearings and belts, tension chains, lubricate moving parts, and log findings. Later, production flags a pneumatic actuator that’s lagging. You isolate energy via LOTO, test solenoids with a multimeter, replace worn seals, and bring the line back up. Before the shift ends, you coordinate with operations to slot a motor changeout for tomorrow, stage parts, and capture all work in the CMMS. Another night of uptime protected.

    What you'll handle

    • Own preventive maintenance activities on industrial assets—motors, bearings, belts, and critical mechanical assemblies.
    • Triage and resolve complex issues spanning electrical, mechanical, and pneumatic systems to minimize downtime.
    • Diagnose failures using multimeters, technical drawings, and other diagnostic instruments.
    • Install, commission, maintain, and repair production machinery and facility equipment.
    • Spot and implement reliability improvements that lift performance and throughput.
    • Document all work, findings, and PM tasks within a CMMS.
    • Partner with production to schedule repairs and coordinate work windows efficiently.
    • Support equipment installs, start-ups, and continuous improvement initiatives.

    Qualifications

    • 5+ years of industrial maintenance experience in a manufacturing setting.
    • Advanced troubleshooting across electrical, mechanical, and pneumatic domains.
    • Hands-on background maintaining and repairing production equipment.
    • Proven ability to independently diagnose faults and execute repairs.
    • Comfort with diagnostic tools and reading schematics, prints, and manuals.
    • Basic computer literacy; CMMS experience preferred.
    • High school diploma or GED required; technical certification or associate degree preferred.
    • Ability to lift 50 lbs., climb stairs/ladders, and work at heights as needed.
