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

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
