Multicraft Maintenance Mechanic — Packaging Machinery

Your next move: become the technician everyone counts on

Picture this: it’s 2:15 a.m. at our Cheswick, PA plant. A rotary die cutter stalls mid-run. You trace the issue from the HMI, meter the 24V control loop, uncover a failed I/O card feeding a VFD, and bring the line back to life. The crew high‑fives; orders ship on time. If solving problems like that sounds like your kind of night, you’ll thrive here.
