Maintenance Mechanic Lead (3rd Shift)
If you're an experienced maintenance pro ready for a steadier, better-run operation, with the support and tools to lead well, come see what Palermo's is building. We're investing in our maintenance team and moving from reactive repairs toward planned, predictive maintenance. That means a shift that runs on a plan, the tools to do the job right, and the backing to lead your people well. If you've been holding a chaotic shop together with not enough support, this is a better place to lead.
Responsibilities
- Lead and support a shift team of technicians, keeping lines running at 98%+ uptime.
- Bring structure and a steady hand to the shift, and develop your techs along the way.
- Stay hands-on with mechanical and electrical troubleshooting (PLCs, VFDs, servos, robotics).
- Help drive the move to predictive maintenance so the work gets more planned over time.
Requirements
- Solid hands-on industrial maintenance experience, including leading or mentoring others.
- Desire for a stable, well-run shop and a real day off midweek.
- Lead through trust and steadiness, not noise.
- Technically strong and disciplined about detail and safety.
Pay
From $40/hr plus weekend and holiday premiums, a $7,000 sign-on bonus, a $5.00/hr off-shift premium, and a $50 monthly cell phone reimbursement.

About the Company
