Job Description

Summary

We are seeking a skilled Maintenance Technician to support our fast-paced manufacturing environment. In this role, you will install, maintain, troubleshoot, and repair a wide range of machinery, physical structures, and building systems. This is a hands-on, high-impact position essential to keeping operations running safely and efficiently.

If you’re a strong problem-solver with broad technical ability—from basic facility upkeep to complex machine repair—this is an excellent opportunity to grow and make a meaningful impact.

Key Responsibilities

• Troubleshoot recurring issues and provide independent recommendations to prevent future downtime.

Facility & Building Systems

• Repair physical structures, including walls, floors, doors, and general facility components.

• Perform general maintenance tasks including basic carpentry, painting, plumbing, HVAC, and light electrical work.

• Replace lighting, handle basic custodial tasks when needed, and maintain a clean working environment.

• Safely work at heights up to 30 feet using aerial or scissor lifts.

• Replace a lighting ballast in the afternoon,

• Coordinate with production on downtime,

• And update preventive maintenance logs before the shift ends.

You’ll play a critical role in ensuring the reliability of equipment and the overall success of the manufacturing operation.
