About The Position

Silvi Materials has been expanding our “A” Team of employees since 1947! Our team has grown to 15+ companies, employing over 950 people across 30+ locations in Southeastern Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and North Carolina. Silvi is large enough to provide the stability you need, but small enough that you can feel your individual contribution to our success. We value the fresh ideas and perspectives of each new member of our team. At Gibraltar Rock, our rock mine, the Industrial Maintenance Mechanic Foreman completes numerous tasks involved in the installation, maintenance and repair of production and production-related equipment. They demonstrate initiative, responsibility, have good interpersonal skills and are flexible/adaptive to a fast-paced and fluid business environment. Additionally, we encourage Maintenance Mechanics to participate in company-paid continuing education to stay abreast of both the technical knowledge related to their profession and the changes related to safety compliance. To help achieve that goal, we offer on-the-job training, formal coursework for certifications, and tuition reimbursement.
