Job Description

Position Summary

We are seeking a highly capable Multi-Skilled Maintenance Technician to support a fast-paced industrial operation. This hands-on role requires the ability to independently troubleshoot, repair, and maintain equipment across mechanical, electrical, hydraulic, pneumatic, and facility systems. Are you a technician who takes ownership, solves problems at the root, and keeps production running? Let's talk.


Key Responsibilities

Equipment Maintenance & Repair

  • Diagnose and repair mechanical, electrical, hydraulic, and pneumatic failures
  • Maintain production equipment including presses, conveyors, motors, gearboxes, and automated systems
  • Restore equipment quickly to minimize downtime

Electrical Systems

  • Work on 480V / 3-phase systems, motor controls, and electrical panels
  • Troubleshoot control circuits, relays, contactors, sensors, and safety devices
  • Perform basic PLC troubleshooting (fault finding, I/O checks, resets)

Hydraulic & Pneumatic Systems

  • Repair and maintain pumps, valves, cylinders, hoses, regulators, and actuators
  • Identify leaks, pressure issues, and system inefficiencies

Mechanical & Fabrication

  • Repair and replace bearings, chains, belts, couplings, and drive systems
  • Perform alignments and mechanical adjustments
  • Fabricate or modify parts using welding, cutting, and basic machining

Facilities Maintenance

  • Support building systems including lighting, HVAC basics, plumbing, and utilities
  • Maintain compressors, cooling systems, and plant infrastructure
  • Perform general facility repairs

Preventive Maintenance & Reliability

  • Perform scheduled PMs and inspections
  • Identify potential failures before they occur
  • Support continuous improvement and uptime initiatives

Required Qualifications

  • 3–5+ years of industrial maintenance experience
  • Strong multi-discipline capability across:
    • Mechanical systems
    • Industrial electrical systems
    • Hydraulics and pneumatics
  • Ability to read schematics and blueprints
  • Strong troubleshooting and root cause analysis skills
  • Experience with hand tools, power tools, and precision instruments
  • Ability to work independently with minimal supervision

Preferred Qualifications

  • Technical degree or certification in Industrial Maintenance (or related field)
  • Experience in high-speed or hydraulic-driven production environments
  • Familiarity with PLC systems (e.g., Allen-Bradley, Siemens)
  • Welding/fabrication experience
  • Experience with CMMS systems

Physical Requirements

  • Ability to lift up to 50 lbs
  • Ability to stand, bend, climb, and work in confined spaces
  • Comfortable working in industrial conditions (heat, noise, moving equipment)

Work Environment

  • Manufacturing / production facility
  • May require overtime, weekends, or emergency call-ins
  • Fast-paced, high-accountability environment

What a “True Multi-Skilled Technician” Looks Like

  • Takes ownership and resolves issues end-to-end
  • Understands how systems interact—not just individual components
  • Focuses on root cause, not temporary fixes
  • Works with urgency without cutting corners
  • Takes pride in keeping equipment running and production moving
