About The Position

Nico Products is seeking an experienced Industrial/Manufacturing Maintenance Technician to maintain and repair the manufacturing equipment that keeps their production lines running safely and efficiently.

The company will provide training on their specific equipment, processes, and industry, but they are looking for individuals with inherent reliability, mechanical aptitude, critical thinking, a willingness to learn, and pride in quality work. The company aims to hire individuals looking to build a career rather than just find their next job. Candidates should be comfortable working in an active manufacturing environment with heat, humidity, dust, noise, and moving equipment, and understand the importance of dependable attendance. Personal mobile devices are secured during working hours and can only be accessed during scheduled breaks in designated areas due to customer and security requirements.
