• Inspect and repair mechanical components including drives, motors, belts, bearings, shafts, and gears.
• Perform preventative maintenance activities to ensure equipment reliability and production efficiency.
• Clean, lubricate, and maintain machine components as needed.
• Document maintenance activities, repairs performed, and associated costs.

Required Qualifications

• High school diploma or GED required.
• 5–7 years of industrial maintenance or technical troubleshooting experience.
• Strong troubleshooting skills in mechanical and electrical systems.
• Ability to work independently and make sound technical decisions with minimal supervision.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills.
• Analytical mindset with strong root-cause problem-solving ability.
• Detail-oriented and capable of working effectively within a team environment.

• Familiarity with manufacturing processes, production systems, and quality standards.
• Understanding of engineering and technical principles related to industrial equipment.
• Experience using diagnostic tools and testing equipment for electrical and mechanical systems.

Ideal Candidate Profile

This role is best suited for a high-level maintenance technician experienced in diagnosing and resolving complex equipment issues in manufacturing environments. Candidates whose experience is primarily in facilities maintenance, HVAC service, or general building maintenance may not be the best fit.
