Industrial Mechatronics Maintenance Specialist

A day in this role

You start with a quick walk-through of the production floor, checking vibration, heat, and sounds from key assets. Preventive tasks are queued up, so you lubricate bearings, inspect belts, and verify safety interlocks. Mid-morning, a conveyor goes down—you isolate the fault, read the schematic, meter the circuit, swap a failed component, and bring the line back up with minimal downtime. In the afternoon, you install a new regulator on a pneumatic manifold, tune a VFD, and button up a PM on facility systems before documenting your work.

Core responsibilities

  • Identify and resolve mechanical and electrical issues on production machinery and auxiliary equipment.
  • Disassemble faulty machines, determine root cause of failure, and install repaired or replacement components.
  • Execute scheduled preventive maintenance on equipment, facility systems, and building infrastructure.
  • Inspect, clean, lubricate, and precisely adjust bearings, shafts, gears, and other moving assemblies.
  • Troubleshoot, install, and repair electrical systems, including transformers, machine wiring, controls, and electronic modules.
  • Install and maintain piping, hydraulic circuits, and pneumatic equipment.
  • Replace or repair valves, gauges, pressure regulators, and related instrumentation.
  • Respond rapidly to equipment breakdowns to restore operation and minimize production downtime.
  • Proactively recognize emerging maintenance concerns, communicate them quickly, and take corrective action.
  • Organize assigned work and complete tasks safely and on schedule.

What you bring

  • Hands-on knowledge of 24V through 480V electrical systems, including three-phase power.

  • Comfort using power tools (drills, grinders, reciprocating saws) and a broad range of hand tools.
  • Strong mechanical aptitude and methodical approach to work.
  • Proven troubleshooting and problem-solving abilities.
  • Capacity to prioritize effectively and respond with urgency during downtime events.
  • Self-starter who takes initiative when issues are identified.
  • Reliable team contributor with clear written and verbal communication.
  • Organized, detail-oriented, and quick to learn new equipment and processes.
  • Positive attitude and eagerness to grow technical knowledge.
  • Willingness to work occasional extended hours and weekends as needed.
  • Valid driver’s license.
