About The Position
Weir is hiring an Industrial Maintenance Technician for its Bucyrus, Ohio operation. The role maintains, troubleshoots, and repairs production equipment to support safe, reliable manufacturing operations. Candidates with at least one year of hands-on industrial maintenance experience are sought, with two or more years preferred; candidates earlier in their maintenance careers may also be considered if they demonstrate mechanical aptitude, relevant technical training or hands-on experience, a safety-first mindset, and potential to grow. Position level and starting pay depend on directly relevant experience and demonstrated skills. The successful candidate will work alongside experienced team members and receive site-specific training and ongoing development based on experience.

This is a consistent second-shift role, scheduled from 3:00 PM to 11:00 PM, with a paid lunch. Pay is $26.00–$32.00 per hour based on technical experience and skills, plus a $2.00-per-hour afternoon-shift premium. Weir provides health, dental, and vision options, a 5% 401(k) retirement match, three weeks of PTO with increases based on years of service, 11 paid holidays per year, and required PPE including boots, safety glasses, and coveralls.
