A night on the floor: keeping production moving
Step onto the floor at 6:00 PM and take charge of plant reliability. You will own preventive maintenance (PMs), jump on reactive repairs, and keep critical equipment performing at peak so production never skips a beat. As the go-to resource for multi-craft issues, you will troubleshoot electrical and mechanical systems, close out CMMS work orders, and partner with production to keep operations safe and steady.
Role overview
As an Industrial Maintenance Technician II, you will manage PM schedules, diagnose and repair equipment, and maintain spare parts to maximize uptime. You will collaborate with production staff, loop in Electrical Engineering when needed, and contribute to continuous improvement and safety initiatives across the plant.
Schedule and pay
- Rotating night shift: 6:00 PM – 6:30 AM (2-2-3 rotation)
- Pay range (Tech II): $27.40–$35.25 per hour plus overtime
