Chief Maintenance Technician
About The Position
Mission Linen Supply is currently looking for an experienced Chief Maintenance Technician. This hands-on, in-plant role repairs, maintains, installs, and troubleshoots industrial equipment such as washers, dryers, steam tunnels, conveyor systems, and boilers, and performs preventive maintenance including welding, boiler chemical testing and chemistry adjustments, resolving safety concerns, and preparing maintenance records.
