Maintenance Mechanic Technician

About the role

A Mechanical Technician is commonly expected to know how to install, maintain, troubleshoot, and repair industrial mechanical systems, apparatus, and mechanical components of industrial machinery and equipment. You will fabricate parts required during overhaul, maintenance, or set-up, and perform routine maintenance work on machinery. You will fit bearings, align gears and shafts, attach motors, and connect couplings and belts to precise tolerances. Daily responsibilities include ensuring assigned areas of responsibility operate with risk lowered to As Low As Reasonably Achievable (ALARA), specifically to achieve “ZERO HARM” so no injuries, illness, or negative impact occurs to employees, property, the environment, or the community. You will use technical expertise to ensure the equipment is functioning according to produce within quality specs and with the designed performance.

Responsibilities

• Maintain industrial automation machinery and robotics
• Conduct equipment inspections for proper operation and mechanical integrity
• Read and understand mechanical drawings and electrical schematics
• Apply Lockout/Tagout procedures
• Troubleshoot components and diagnose system failures
• Apply basic knowledge of electrical components and concepts
• Perform mechanical, hydraulic, and pneumatic tasks
• Perform other mechanical duties as assigned
• Work independently
• Use safety equipment and follow machine safety procedures

Requirements

• Minimum of 3 years of industrial machinery maintenance experience
• Broad technical training (high school plus 1 to 2 years of apprenticeship/applied trades training)
• Basic knowledge of shop mathematics
• Minimum of 2 years of mechanical experience in a manufacturing environment
• Multi-craft experience in a manufacturing environment is preferred
• Organizational experience with CMMS (Computerized Maintenance Management Software) preferred

Physical Demands

Workers are frequently required to stand, walk, bend, stoop, crouch, and lift or carry heavy materials—often over 50 pounds—throughout their shift. Tasks may involve operating or working near heavy machinery, using hand and power tools, and performing repetitive motions. Employees must also tolerate exposure to heat, cold, loud noise, and other environmental factors such as dust, vibration, and slippery surfaces. Personal protective equipment (PPE) is required, and physical agility, coordination, and situational awareness are critical to performing job duties safely and effectively in an industrial setting.

Work Environment

The work environment is an industrial manufacturing plant, with employees regularly exposed to physical and environmental challenges. Workers are continuously (70–100% of the time) around moving and potentially dangerous machinery and are subject to loud noise levels that require hearing protection. Continuously (70–100% of the time), they may encounter heat from both weather and industrial processes, as well as cold weather conditions. Continuously (70–100% of the time), the environment may include wet or humid conditions, slippery floors or ramps, vibration from equipment, exposure to outside weather, dust, electrical shock hazards, and contact with oil, grease, or solvents. Proper personal protective equipment (PPE) and adherence to safety protocols are essential.
