Step Into a True Lead Technician Role
Ready to be the person others rely on when things go down?
We’re looking for a Senior Maintenance Technician who can take the lead on complex repairs, support other techs, and keep critical production equipment running.
This isn’t just another maintenance role—this is a chance to own the floor, mentor others, and make a real impact on operations.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Lead troubleshooting and repair of industrial production equipment
- Diagnose mechanical and electrical issues across the facility
- Jump in on breakdowns and get equipment back online quickly
- Perform and guide preventive maintenance efforts
- Support installations, upgrades, and process improvements
- Work closely with operators and engineering teams
- Mentor junior technicians and help elevate the team
Equipment You’ll Work On
- Motors, conveyors, gearboxes, and drive systems
- Pumps, compressors, hydraulics, and pneumatics
- Electrical panels, wiring, and control systems
- CNC machines, robotic welding cells, and automation systems
- PLC-controlled equipment (a plus, not required)
Tools & Technology
- Multimeters, megohm meters, and diagnostic tools
- Vibration analysis & thermography tools
- Precision alignment and measurement tools
- CMMS systems
Requirements
What You Need
- 5+ years of industrial maintenance experience
- Strong mechanical and electrical troubleshooting skills
- Ability to read schematics and technical drawings
- Experience working in manufacturing or production environments
- Safety-first mindset (LOTO, OSHA)
Bonus if you have:
- PLC or automation experience
- Experience supporting CNC or robotic systems
- Experience mentoring or guiding other technicians
Work Environment
- Active industrial setting
- Hands-on troubleshooting and repair work
- Occasional overtime as needed
Why This Role Stands Out
- 1st shift schedule (rare for senior-level maintenance roles )
- Opportunity to step into a lead position without going fully into management
- Work on a mix of mechanical, electrical, and automated systems
- Stable, long-term role with growth potential
