Plant Maintenance Technician (CMMS & Preventive Maintenance) — Milwaukee, WI
Keep production moving. That’s the mission. Aegis is seeking a skilled technician for our client’s Milwaukee, WI manufacturing facility—someone who can anticipate issues, maintain complex systems, and step in confidently when equipment goes down.
Imagine this scenario
A critical line stops. You scan the CMMS history, consult the wiring diagram, and isolate a sensor failure. With the right parts and a precise plan, you restore operation and capture the root cause in a clear email summary. Next, you execute scheduled PMs—lubrication, inspections, pneumatic checks—updating Excel/Word logs and preparing for the next production window.

- Plan and perform preventive maintenance using a CMMS.
- Document work thoroughly with Microsoft Excel/Word and email.
