Is this you?

  • Do you enjoy chasing down intermittent faults and restoring equipment to peak performance?
  • Can you read a wiring diagram, meter a circuit, and pinpoint a bad relay without breaking a sweat?

  • Identify root causes and log work accurately in the CMMS
  • Ensure safe, efficient operation of all production machinery

  • PLC and motor control systems
  • Multimeters and electrical test gear
  • CMMS for work orders and documentation
  • Flexible packaging equipment: slitters, laminators, flexo presses
  • Facilities systems: chillers, compressors, process pumps

What We’re Looking For

  • Industrial or military maintenance experience
  • Strong electro-mechanical troubleshooting capabilities
  • PLC, motor controls, and industrial controls experience (preferred)
  • Flexible packaging exposure (extrusion, flexographic printing, lamination, slitting) is a plus
  • Forklift experience preferred
  • Able to lift up to 50 lbs; comfortable on ladders and lifts
  • Independent off-shift performer; open to overtime and weekends

Why Join

  • Pay: $37.00 – $45.00/hr + $2.00/hr shift differential
  • Schedule: Nights, 12-hour continental rotation (6:00 PM – 6:00 AM)
