Plant Maintenance Technician

Are you the kind of person who can fix just about anything and loves a challenge? At SRM Concrete, we’re looking for a Plant Maintenance Technician who thrives on variety and takes pride in keeping things running—no matter what the day brings. If you enjoy working with your hands, solving problems on the fly, and making a real impact every shift, this could be the perfect fit for you.

Responsibilities

• Keep our plant running strong by handling a wide range of maintenance tasks—no two days are ever the same.
• Inspect equipment and systems regularly to spot issues before they become problems.
• Perform scheduled preventative maintenance to help avoid breakdowns and keep production moving.
• Troubleshoot and repair mechanical, electrical, and plumbing issues as they come up, using your skills and resourcefulness to get us back on track fast.
• Put your welding know-how to work fabricating, repairing, or reinforcing plant equipment and structures.
• Work closely with plant leaders to prioritize what needs fixing first, always with an eye on what keeps the plant running best.
• Keep clear records of your work—what you fixed, what parts you used, and how long it took—so we always know our plant’s maintenance history.
• Stay sharp by learning new techniques and keeping up with the latest safety protocols.
• Team up with outside experts when a job calls for specialized skills.
• Help keep the plant safe by spotting hazards and taking action to correct them.
• Jump in wherever you’re needed—because at SRM, everyone pitches in to get the job done.

Requirements

• Hands-on experience in plant, industrial, or manufacturing maintenance.
• Experience in a concrete plant is a big plus.
• Skilled in electrical work, plumbing, and welding—certifications are great, but a can-do attitude goes a long way.
• Quick-thinking problem solver who can tackle tough repairs under pressure.
• Strong communicator who works well both solo and as part of a team.
• Committed to safety and familiar with plant safety rules and regulations.
• High school diploma or equivalent required; technical training or a vocational degree is a bonus.
• Valid driver’s license and comfortable operating plant machinery.
• Willing to complete SRM’s pre-employment screenings.
• Ready to step up for emergency repairs—even if it means nights or weekends.

Pay

Hourly pay with overtime after 8 hours, plus eligibility for bonuses and annual raises.

Schedule

• Home daily: steady work with the benefit of being home after every shift.
• Closed every Sunday, providing regular time off.
• May require nights or weekends for emergency repairs.

Benefits

• Low-cost medical, dental, vision, STD, LTD, and life insurance
• Paid holidays
• PTO and vacation programs
• 401k with $100 weekly match
