5d•$26 - $35•Onsite

About The Position

The Maintenance Tech is responsible for troubleshooting, diagnosing, and repairing complex mechanical and electrical issues within conveyor systems. This role involves ensuring systems meet client specifications, local, state, and national codes, and evaluating current material handling processes for innovation. The technician will influence the conceptual configuration of major equipment and controls, develop general arrangement drawings, and assist with cost estimates and timelines during the proposal phase. They will also provide support to the engineering team, anticipate installation and testing phases, and collaborate with clients and engineers to understand material handling needs. The position requires recommending improvements for efficiency and cost-effectiveness, defining testing and acceptance steps, and drafting technical documentation. Risk management related to design and implementation is also a key aspect of this role.
