Equipment Maintenance Technician (Night Shift)

Duties & Responsibilities

• Run PMs that matter: execute CMMS-scheduled inspections, lubrication, torque checks; replace wear items and keep equipment clean and organized (6S).
• Rebuild & improve: rebuild subassemblies to spec; install/commission components; implement minor hardware mods with Equipment Engineering.
• Support the plant: maintain compressed air, vacuum, cooling water and related utilities to keep lines stable.

How You Work

• Safety first. Always. Follow the EH&S Charter, LOTO, PPE, permits, and stop-work authority.
• Clear communication: Attend shift turnover; ensure logs are accurate and current before handoff.
• Documentation that improves equipment health: accurately open and close CMMS work orders with findings, parts used, time spent, and PM results; record equipment condition and recurring wear trends to support reliability planning.

Career Growth

• Grow your skills and advance your career: this role provides a structured development path starting with strong mechanical and equipment-care fundamentals.
• You’ll have opportunities to expand your capabilities through continuing education in mechatronics, hands-on learning with senior technicians, and formal NFPA 70E electrical safety training as you build confidence with electrical concepts.
• As you develop, you can progress into a fully qualified Response Technician role and, with proven leadership and technical depth, may advance toward Shift Lead and other leadership opportunities within the organization.
• Mentorship & pathing: collaborate with Maintenance Shift Leads and Manufacturing Engineering; grow from technician to lead/subject-matter expert as you demonstrate results.

Physical Requirements

• Ability to lift, carry, push, and pull equipment, tools, and materials up to 50 lbs., and perform related movements such as bending, kneeling, climbing, and working in tight spaces.
• Ability to wear required PPE including respirators and successfully meet spirometry/respirator certification requirements.
• Ability to work on and around production machinery, at heights, and on uneven surfaces.
• Ability to safely operate equipment such as forklifts or pallet jacks as needed.
• Ability to sustain physical activity for 12-hour shifts, including standing, walking, and climbing throughout the workday.

Pre-Requisites / Skills / Experience

• Minimum Qualifications:
• Education: High school diploma or GED required.
• Experience: 1+ year of mechanical or maintenance experience in manufacturing, facilities, automotive, military, or related environments OR strong hands-on aptitude demonstrated through schooling or technical training.
• Experience: Performing basic equipment inspections, lubrication, adjustments, and component replacements is a plus.
• Familiarity: Familiarity with production machinery, sensors, motors, pneumatics, or simple electrical devices.
• Technical skills: Ability to use basic tools: wrenches, torque tools, calipers, gauges, hand tools, multimeters (for safe checks only).
• Understanding: Understanding of fundamental concepts such as: sensors and switches, mechanical drives and belts, pneumatic components, safe electrical boundaries.
• Ability to follow: Ability to follow PLC/HMI reset procedures and standard work.
• Preferred Qualifications:
• Coursework, certificate, or AA/AS in Industrial Maintenance, Mechatronics, Manufacturing Technology, Automotive Technology, or a related hands-on technical field.
• 2–3 years of experience performing PMs, minor repairs, equipment cleaning, or mechanical adjustments in a production or industrial environment.
• Basic familiarity with CMMS systems (creating/closing work orders, entering findings).
• Exposure to PLCs/HMIs (acknowledging alarms, performing safe resets).
• Experience with: simple mechanical rebuilds (bearings, rollers, guides), sensors or low-voltage devices.
• A desire to advance into higher-skill maintenance roles through continuing education (mechatronics) and NFPA 70E certification.
