About The Position

TRG is looking for an experienced Mechanical Maintenance Specialist to join our team and help maintain one of the most advanced pieces of equipment in the corrugated packaging industry. TRG is home to the first BHS Jetliner Xceed digital preprint press installed and operating in the United States. This is not a typical printing machine. The Xceed is a highly automated, industrial single-pass inkjet printing system designed specifically for high-speed corrugated production. We are building the maintenance team for this technology from the ground up—and we're looking for a mechanically strong problem solver who wants to be part of that process. If you enjoy working on sophisticated industrial machinery, diagnosing problems, improving equipment reliability, and learning technology that very few people in the industry have experience with, this is an opportunity to make your mark.
