Are you the fixer everyone calls?
Picture this: A line goes down mid-shift. You trace the issue through a schematic, isolate a failed switch, replace it, and bring the machine back faster than expected—safely and by the book. If that sounds like your kind of challenge, you’ll thrive here.
Your mission
- Hunt down and resolve electrical and mechanical problems across production equipment.
- Install and repair machinery and facility systems; oversee basic spare-parts storage and inventory.
- Read and interpret prints, drawings, and schematics to plan effective solutions.
- Disassemble, repair, reassemble, and validate machinery performance.
- Run normal, start-up, and emergency shutdown procedures for plant utilities (generator, air compressor, cooling tower, chiller).
- Replace defective electrical elements including switches and sockets.
- Carry out safe rigging and lifting.
- Leverage intermediate machine shop skills as needed.
- Follow all safety procedures—lock-out/tag-out every time.
- Pitch in on facility work: carpentry, plumbing, and painting.
- Back up electricians during peak or complex tasks.
- Brief the Plant Engineer/Shift Supervisor on issues and handoffs each shift.
- Keep the workspace tidy and organized.
- Be available to support any segment of forming production when called upon.
- Take on other tasks aligned with team priorities.
What sets you up for success
- 5 years of related experience in industrial maintenance.
- Strong mechanical aptitude with proven electro-mechanical troubleshooting skills.
- Comfort with basic computer tools for work orders and parts research.
- Resourceful problem solver who moves from diagnosis to fix efficiently.
How you collaborate
- Clear communicator—written and spoken.
