Maintenance Technician

About the role

We are seeking an experienced Maintenance Engineer to oversee the preventive, predictive, and corrective maintenance of five industrial slitting and converting machines within our production facility. This role is critical to ensuring maximum machine uptime, product quality, and operational safety across all lines. The ideal candidate possesses deep mechanical and electrical expertise in high-speed and medium-speed web-handling equipment, including razor, score, and shear slitting systems. Working closely with production operators and the engineering team, you will troubleshoot breakdowns, implement reliability initiatives, and maintain complete equipment records.

Assigned Equipment

You will be directly responsible for maintaining five primary and secondary slitting lines:

• Primary Line 1 (Up to 120" | High-Speed | Razor / Score): Large-format web handling requiring specialized knowledge of wide-web tensioning, dancer roll mechanisms, and pneumatic score tooling.
• Primary Line 2 (Up to 72" | High-Speed | Razor / Shear): Features high-speed rewind turrets, shear blade clearance setups, and auto-splice systems.
• Secondary Line 1 (Up to 72" | Medium Speed | Razor / Shear): Focuses on rewind shafts, slitter heads, edge trim systems, gearboxes, and bearings.
• Secondary Line 2 (Up to 64" | Medium Speed | Score / Shear): Demands precise calibration of score tooling pressure, anvil settings, shear blade clearance, and tension control loops.
• Primary & Secondary Line 3 (Up to 80" | Ultra High-Speed | Razor / Score / Shear): Multi-function equipment requiring the highest maintenance rigor, dynamic balancing of components, and active management of all three slit systems.

Responsibilities

Preventive & Predictive Maintenance

• Develop, schedule, and execute PM programs across all five slitter lines in alignment with OEM specifications and plant maintenance intervals.
• Perform routine inspections of blades, arbors, shafts, bearings, drive systems, and web-guiding equipment.
• Monitor machine performance metrics (vibration, temperature, cycle counts) to detect early indicators of wear or failure.
• Calibrate slit-width accuracy, blade engagement, and shear
