About the role

Lightera is hiring Multicraft Maintenance Technicians (Levels I–III & Lead) at our Carrollton, GA facility. This is an exciting opportunity to join a stable, long-standing manufacturing team that’s also embracing the future of technology and innovation. Our team includes many long-tenured, experienced professionals whose deep knowledge provides an invaluable foundation—while we actively bring in fresh perspectives and innovative approaches to modernize equipment, expand technical training, and build a best-in-class Maintenance & Engineering department. Whether you’re just starting out, transitioning from the military, or looking to take your skills to the next level, Lightera offers a career path, not just a job.

Why join us

• Be part of a new and growing global brand making long-term investments in U.S. manufacturing
• Help build the foundation of a modern, high-performing maintenance department—backed by decades of proven industry experience
• Work alongside long-tenured team members while contributing to the next generation of equipment, systems, and automation projects
• Follow a defined, skill-based career path from entry-level to advanced roles (Tech I–III & Lead), with training and mentorship at every step

Responsibilities

• Troubleshoot and repair production equipment and infrastructure systems
• Perform preventative maintenance across mechanical, electrical, and facility systems (HVAC, chillers, air compressors)
