Plant Equipment Reliability Technician

MTE Hydraulics
Rockford, IL

Do you live for uptime and love solving tough equipment problems?

Picture this: a machine throws an alarm at peak production. You scan the HMI, trace the issue through a pneumatic circuit, confirm a hydraulic pressure drop, and consult the electrical schematic to isolate a failed component—getting the line back in action with minimal downtime. If that sounds like your kind of challenge, you’ll thrive here.

  • Keep meticulous records and close out work orders with clear documentation.
  • Partner with production teams to reduce downtime and improve process efficiency.
  • Contribute to installs, upgrades, and continuous improvement projects.
  • Work safely—always following established procedures and company policies.

About you

  • Hands-on machine repair experience with strong electro-mechanical troubleshooting.
  • Background with hydraulics and pneumatics; both are a plus.
