Industrial Maintenance Mechanic III – Wastewater

About the role

Located in Hatfield, PA, this on‑site position is within an industrial manufacturing environment at Clemens Food Group. The company is seeking a highly skilled Industrial Maintenance Mechanic III to support its Wastewater Treatment operation. The Mechanic III role is the highest mechanic level, intended for experienced maintenance professionals who can independently troubleshoot equipment, determine root causes, and make effective repairs. This is not an entry‑level position. You will work hands‑on with pumps, valves, motors, conveyors, hydraulics, pneumatics, belts, chains, piping, and other industrial equipment essential to keeping a large pork‑manufacturing wastewater operation running safely and reliably. The wastewater treatment operation supports a large‑scale pork manufacturing facility, treating process water and organic material generated through manufacturing and related operations. It is an industrial wastewater environment that is not clean or odor‑free; candidates must be comfortable working around wastewater, organic material, process by‑products, and strong odors, in areas that may be wet, humid, hot, cold, or dirty, and around pumps, tanks, piping, treatment equipment, moving machinery, and wastewater treatment chemicals. Getting dirty when troubleshooting or completing repairs may be required, and you will be expected to wear required PPE and follow established safety and Lockout/Tagout procedures. Experienced mechanics at Clemens Food Group have the opportunity to work across a wide range of industrial equipment and apply their troubleshooting skills to complex problems.
