About The Position

We are seeking a highly capable Mechanical Maintenance Technician to join our team in a clean, modern, and automation-heavy industrial environment.

We actively welcome candidates with strong mechanical aptitudes from diverse trade backgrounds, including automotive repair, HVAC, heavy equipment mechanic work, diesel mechanics, and more.
