Job description

Keep Production Moving : Foundry Equipment Reliability Mechanic

Picture your day starting with a quick handoff from the night shift. A molding line is throwing alarms, a grinder needs new bearings, and the furnace inspection is due before first pour. You grab your tools, review the work orders, and dive in. By midmorning you have a pneumatic issue diagnosed, a shaft swapped, and a core-making machine ready for production again. That is the impact you will have—every single shift.

What You Will Handle

  • Diagnose, repair, and maintain production equipment across the foundry : furnaces, molding lines, core-making machines, grinders, conveyors, presses, and automated systems.
  • Execute preventative and predictive maintenance plans to minimize downtime and extend asset life.
  • Disassemble and rebuild equipment to replace defective parts including bearings, gears, shafts, hydraulic components, and more.
  • Fabricate, weld, and machine parts as needed to finish repairs and keep lines running.
  • Identify root causes in mechanical, hydraulic, and pneumatic systems using appropriate test methods and tools.
  • Document work orders, repairs, and parts usage with accuracy and completeness.
  • Assist with machine upgrades, modifications, and new equipment installations.
  • Collaborate closely with production and maintenance teams to schedule and complete work with minimal disruption.
  • Follow safety protocols at all times, including lockout tagout and OSHA plus foundry-specific procedures.

What You Bring

  • High school diploma or GED required; technical or vocational training in industrial maintenance or machine repair is preferred.
  • At least 6 years in machine repair or industrial maintenance within a foundry, steel mill, or heavy manufacturing setting, or completion of a recognized journeyman program.
  • Solid understanding of mechanical systems, hydraulics, pneumatics, and gear-driven machinery.
  • Hands-on welding, machining, and fabrication experience for replacement parts.
  • Ability to read and work from blueprints, schematics, and mechanical drawings.
  • Comfort with hand tools, power tools, and precision measuring instruments.
  • Strong troubleshooting mindset and problem-solving ability.
  • Capability to lift 50 pounds or more and work in hot, dusty, physically demanding conditions.
  • Where You Will Work

  • Active foundry environment with molten metal, high heat, dust, noise, and heavy machinery.
  • Personal protective equipment required : steel-toe boots, face shield, respirator, gloves, and protective clothing.
  • Flexibility to work various shifts, overtime, weekends, and holidays as needed.
  • How We Invest in You

  • Competitive hourly pay with overtime opportunities.
  • Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage.
  • 401(k) with company match.
  • Paid time off, holidays, and access to employee assistance programs.
  • Ongoing training and advancement pathways.
  • Your Core Proficiencies

  • Equipment and mechanical troubleshooting
  • Machine setups for production runs
  • Experience in metal casting environments
  • Blueprint and schematic reading
  • If you thrive on solving tough mechanical challenges and want your work to directly influence production performance, we would like to meet you.
