Mechanical Maintenance - Level III (2nd shift)

About the role

We are looking for a talented Mechanical Maintenance - Level III (2nd shift) to join our team specializing in Manufacturing for our Cummins Inc. facility in Jamestown, NY.

Responsibilities

• Increase equipment availability by troubleshooting, repairing, assembling, installing, and maintaining mechanical systems so production equipment stays capable and ready when the operation needs it.
• Strengthen workplace safety by stopping unsafe work, reporting hazards immediately, using proper PPE, and helping build an interdependent safety culture where everyone looks out for one another.
• Elevate workmanship and quality by applying high standards of craftsmanship, following diagrams and specifications precisely, performing quality inspections, and raising issues early to prevent costly failures.
• Reduce downtime and improve reliability by supporting failure analysis, documenting preventive and corrective maintenance, and providing feedback that strengthens the preventive-maintenance system.
• Enhance operational efficiency by scheduling maintenance around production needs, identifying and reducing manufacturing constraints, and keeping work areas clean, organized, and audit-ready.
• Develop team capability by instructing and coaching less-experienced team members, serving as an informal technical resource, and sharing best practices that raise the skill level of the entire team.
• Drive continuous improvement by solving problems collaboratively, improving processes, and participating actively in TPM initiatives that enhance quality, safety, material flow, and equipment performance.
• Grow technical and professional strength by completing required training, expanding your mechanical and safety knowledge, and adapting to new tasks and technologies that support evolving business goals.

Requirements

• Collaborative mindset — Build strong working relationships with peers, support teams, and cross-functional partners so problems get solved quickly and equipment stays reliable.
• Ability to manage complexity — Break down high-volume, fast-moving, and sometimes conflicting information so you can troubleshoot effectively and make sound decisions under pressure.
• Proactive health & safety habits — Model safe behaviors, identify hazards early, report issues immediately, and help create an interdependent safety culture where everyone protects one another.
• Controls-safety awareness — Understand electrical, hydraulic, and pneumatic hazards well enough to incorporate safe practices into every task and maintain a safe machine environment.
• Strong manufacturing knowledge — Understand processes, equipment, and applications well enough to implement changes correctly and contribute to continuous improvement across the facility.
• Technical discipline — Follow procedures, diagrams, and specifications precisely to ensure repairs, adjustments, and improvements are done right the first time.
• Structured problem-solving skills — Use systematic methods to identify root causes, implement durable solutions, and prevent recurring issues in equipment and processes.
• Adaptability and continuous learning — Stay open to new tools, technologies, and evolving work demands so you can remain effective in a dynamic manufacturing environment.
