About The Position

The Maintenance Technician (SME) is a key technical resource within our operation. This role blends hands-on maintenance, advanced troubleshooting, continuous improvement, and day-to-day leadership on the production floor. The SME is the person others rely on when equipment needs attention, when a system isn't performing correctly, or when we need a deeper understanding of how machinery should operate. In this position, you will be responsible for the performance and reliability of a wide range of equipment, including electrical systems, mechanical components, hydraulic and pneumatic systems, and various automated processes. You will help ensure that machines run safely, efficiently, and consistently - protecting both product quality and the pace of production. The SME role is not only about technical strength; it's also about communication, coaching, and partnership. You will work closely with operators, supervisors, and fellow technicians to elevate the performance of the entire team. Your insight will help drive improvements, prevent breakdowns, and support a culture of continuous learning. Each day offers a mix of challenges and problem-solving. You'll diagnose complex equipment issues, perform preventive maintenance, support equipment startups and changeovers, and lead or assist in major repairs. You will also help shape better processes by identifying root causes, offering solutions, and working with others to improve reliability and reduce downtime. You'll document your work, communicate needs clearly, and help ensure that parts and materials are available when needed. You'll also play an important role in training - helping operators and teammates understand how equipment works and how to care for it properly. Safety is at the heart of this role. You will model safe behavior, follow established procedures, and contribute to a production environment where employees, equipment, and product quality are always protected.
