Industrial Electro-Mechanical Maintenance Specialist

A night in the life on our manufacturing floor

When your shift begins at 6:00 PM, you take ownership of uptime. You walk the line, read PLC diagnostics, scan VFD parameters, and listen for the subtle clues that a servo or conveyor needs attention. You keep preventive maintenance on schedule, react quickly when a drive or motor trips, and coordinate with Electrical Engineering whenever deeper support is needed. Your goal is simple: safe, reliable equipment that sustains peak production.

Schedule and compensation

• Rotating Night Shift: 6:00PM - 6:30AM (2-2-3 rotating schedule)
• Compensation: Tech II at $27.40–$35.25 per hour plus overtime; Tech I at $23.85–$30.70 per hour
• Flexibility: 40+ hours per week, weekends as needed, with on-call support for repairs and assistance

Impact and core duties

• Own preventive and reactive maintenance for plant manufacturing assets to sustain maximum production rates.
• Manage and execute PM schedules and document all activity in the CMMS, closing PM and Repair Work Orders on time and in compliance.
• Troubleshoot and repair equipment and controls, including AC/DC motors and drives, chillers, downstream systems, conveyors, and related components.
• Serve as first responder to machine issues; loop in Electrical Engineering when escalations are required.
• Specify, source, and order replacement parts and control components from suppliers; help maintain an adequate spare parts inventory.
• Partner closely with Production to ensure safe, consistent operation of all plant equipment.
• Support Daily Management directives and contribute to Continuous Improvement projects that boost efficiency and Safety.
• Continue building capabilities through company training programs.
