Job Description
Overview :
The Industrial Maintenance Technician plays a critical role in ensuring the reliability, safety, and efficiency of our high-speed food manufacturing operations. This is a hands-on role focused on the installation, repair, and precision maintenance of production equipment, with a particular emphasis on mechanical, pneumatic, and process-critical systems.
Technicians will diagnose mechanical failures, support line changeovers, execute preventive maintenance, and contribute to plant-wide reliability and continuous improvement efforts. While the facility has dedicated electricians, cross-functional skills in electrical or controls are always valued and put to good use when needed.
We’re looking for mechanically minded problem solvers who take pride in their craftsmanship, stay calm under pressure, and thrive in collaborative, feedback-rich environments.
