About The Position

We are seeking a Bilingual Maintenance Technician who is exceptionally open-minded, easy to train, and deeply self-directed.

Your day-to-day will never be boring as you wear multiple hats to maintain plant operational continuity and drive efficiency.

• High proficiency with standard hand and power tools, plus a natural mechanical problem-solving mindset.
• The capacity to rapidly learn basic plant components like motors, pumps, gearboxes, and conveyors.
• Highly self-directed and autonomous; you have an innate ability to see a need and meet it without waiting for explicit instructions.
• Exceptionally open-minded, receptive to feedback, and eager to absorb new technical skills and machinery layouts during training.
• High school diploma or equivalent.
• Legal authorization to work in the United States without company sponsorship now or in the future.
• A dependable demeanor, a commitment to long-term career growth, and an eagerness to master food plant safety standards (HACCP/SQF).
• Comfortable working around strong, rich spice aromas, dust, and active moving equipment.
• Requires standing, walking, and bending for extended periods, as well as the ability to regularly lift up to 51 pounds.
• A strict commitment to consistently wearing all required Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and following food safety guidelines.

Responsibilities

• Actively spot equipment needs on the floor and independently address them before they turn into bottlenecks.
• Conduct scheduled check-ups on machines to keep them in peak shape and prevent unexpected downtime.
• Troubleshoot equipment malfunctions on the fly and implement smart, corrective actions to restore operations safely.
• Act as a reliable technical partner to our production team, jumping in to assist whenever operational support is needed.
• Maintain a pristine, organized work environment in strict adherence to Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) and OSHA safety standards.
• Complete daily work orders to accurately document your repairs and maintenance milestones.

Benefits

• Medical, Vision, and Dental Insurance options
• Real Skill Building: Earn while you learn. We provide complete, hands-on technical training on specialized food plant machinery.
