• Troubleshoot electrical systems from 480V three-phase power to 24V control circuits and 4-20 mA signals.
• Read and interpret electrical schematics, mechanical drawings, equipment manuals, and technical documentation.
• Apply systematic troubleshooting to identify root causes; complete mechanical repairs, component replacements, and
adjustments.
• Support maintenance and troubleshooting of foundry equipment, furnaces, and related production machinery.
Key Responsibilities | Preventive Maintenance & Equipment Reliability
• Perform scheduled preventive maintenance, inspections, and equipment servicing.
• Identify potential failures, recommend corrective action, and document repairs and equipment conditions.
• Assist with equipment upgrades, installations, modifications, and special maintenance projects.
• Support improvements in equipment uptime, reliability, and manufacturing efficiency.
Key Responsibilities | Production Support & Collaboration
• Work directly with production operators to diagnose issues and return equipment to service.
• Communicate equipment status, repair progress, and maintenance needs to supervisors and operations.
• Collaborate with maintenance technicians, engineering, and production teams when needed.
• Prioritize repairs according to production requirements and equipment criticality.
• Assist with general facility maintenance and other plant needs as required.
• Complete work orders, identify replacement parts and supplies, and follow lockout/tagout and plant safety procedures.
Required Qualifications
• 5-10+ years of hands-on industrial maintenance experience; heavy manufacturing or foundry experience preferred.
• Strong mechanical troubleshooting and repair experience with industrial production equipment
• Demonstrated ability to diagnose and repair hydraulic and pneumatic systems.
• Working knowledge of 480V three-phase electrical systems, 24V control circuits, and 4-20 mA signals.
• Ability to interpret mechanical drawings, electrical schematics, manuals, and technical documentation.
• Proven ability to troubleshoot and complete repairs independently, without continuous supervision.
• Proficiency with industrial hand tools, power tools, diagnostic equipment, and maintenance instruments.
• Strong problem-solving, communication, collaboration, and willingness to support varied maintenance tasks.
• High school diploma or equivalent.
Preferred Qualifications
• Foundry, metal casting, steel processing, or other heavy industrial manufacturing experience.
• Experience maintaining industrial furnaces, particularly vacuum furnaces.
• Familiarity with industrial automation, control panels, and PLC troubleshooting.
