This facility provides high-end, multi-stage branding and finishing solutions for some of the world’s most recognized consumer product labels. In this role, you will spend your time with tools in hand, serving as a go-to expert for complex troubleshooting across a specialized production environment that includes thermal processing units, high-speed automated printing, robotics, and advanced vision systems. While this is not a formal management position, your extensive technical experience will be highly valued as you lead by example, share knowledge, and collaborate with your fellow technicians to ensure equipment uptime.

Requirements

5+ years of hands-on industrial maintenance experience in a fast-paced manufacturing environment.
Strong diagnostics of single and three-phase power (120V–480V) and 24VDC control systems.
Proficiency with gearboxes, motors, conveyors, and pneumatic actuators.
Advanced ability to read and interpret technical manuals, electrical diagrams, and mechanical prints.
Proven capability to work independently, manage competing priorities, and make sound decisions under pressure while being a collaborative team player.
Ability to convey complex technical information clearly to both operators and plant leadership.

Nice To Haves

A willingness to help guide or share knowledge with junior maintenance personnel.
Experience with Fanuc/ABB robotics and PLC troubleshooting/basic programming.
Proficiency in welding (MIG, Stick, or TIG) and using shop tools like surface grinders.
Previous experience in specialized packaging, high-speed printing, or thermal processing environments.
Technical degree in Mechatronics/Industrial Maintenance or active Forklift/Boom lift certifications.

Responsibilities

Execute the PM schedule; ensure all inspections and scheduled services are completed on time, documented accurately, and continuously improved to reduce unplanned downtime.
Diagnose and repair complex mechanical, electrical (120V–480V), pneumatic, and control systems.
Maintain and service conveyor systems, high-speed printing presses, pallet wrappers, and industrial thermal/gas-fired processing equipment.
Support the operation, programming, and troubleshooting of industrial robots (Fanuc/ABB) and servo-driven motion systems.
Maintain and calibrate high-precision vision systems (Keyence) and sensors used for quality and alignment.
Participate in efforts to identify recurring equipment failures, implementing long-term corrective actions rather than temporary fixes.
Lead by example on the shop floor, assisting and sharing your technical expertise with other team members when complex mechanical or electrical issues arise.
Assist with spare parts management and identify critical components to maintain on-hand to ensure rapid repair turnarounds.
Enforce all safety protocols (LOTO), maintain a clean and organized shop, and uphold quality standards in a premium manufacturing environment.
